The seaside village of Kastri, in the Viannos municipality, is located about 70 km southeast of Heraklion, offering a serene combination of sea and tranquility. Kastri has merged with the nearby coastal village of Keratokambos, forming a single beautiful seafront settlement, and is part of the municipal district of Chondros.
In the village, you will find taverns, cafes, and rental rooms, offering comfort and hospitality to visitors. To the west of the village, a small charming harbor has been built, catering to the local fishermen and providing a picturesque spot for a stroll.
Beaches: West of the harbor lies a small beach with tamarisk trees and golden sand, which remains unorganized, offering peace and privacy. On the east side, there's a larger sandy beach, ideal for families and those seeking more comfort.
Kastri is a relatively recent settlement, constantly growing and attracting those who appreciate Cretan tradition and natural beauty.
Nearby is the Church of Saint Dimitrios, which once functioned as a monastery, and the Church of Saint George, surrounded by lush orchards. These churches add cultural and religious value to Kastri, attracting those interested in history and architecture.
