Winning tip: ‘Completely unspoilt’, Crete

Paralia Mazida Ammos in Xerokampos in Crete’s far south-east is a spectacular beach, surely up there with the top beaches in the world. From the first glimpse on the heartstopping drive over the mountains you can tell it is a special place. With a bay of dreamy soft white sand and azure water sparkling and clear, the gorgeous scenery is enough to make you shed a tear of joy! And amazingly this loveliness is completely unspoilt and quiet. The nearby village of Xerokampos has a taverna and a smattering of apartments and makes for an idyllic stay. Heaven.
