Wonderful day in an amazing beach.
We spent a week of our vacation in Crete and the day in Vai beach was an unforgettable day. Very organized and clean beach with turquoise water and many water sports to do. Our driver guide was such a great guy, very informative, friendly and funny. It was a very long day, but worth it.
