On the edge of Hersonissos to the west, lie a series of small inlets and bays separated by rocky cliffs vibrant with limpets, small crabs and other sea animals. The sea is almost always calm and the warm turquoise waters are most welcoming. The bay in the far end serves as a nudist beach. There are seabed and umbrellas for rent and a few but exquisite restaurants and bars. The area of Saradari is idyllic to watch the dark sea twinkling as the full-moon rises above Hersonissos port.
