On Crete, Facebook Groups Surface Hidden Beach Deals and Rally Pet Escorts

Overview

• A post in a public Facebook group points to a small, less‑known bay in southeast Crete with sunbeds priced at about €10 and a complimentary small bottle of cold water.
• Commenters describe strong snorkeling, a small patch of pink sand and a spot with so‑called healing clay, with some reporting occasional sightings of sea turtles and dolphins, which remain anecdotal.
• In a separate Facebook appeal, a holidaymaker seeks in‑cabin flight volunteers to accompany two adopted kittens to Cologne or Düsseldorf.
• Responses indicate some travelers flying from Heraklion to Cologne or Düsseldorf in the coming days have offered to act as flight patrons.
• Conventional travel reporting spotlights Balos, the Samaria Gorge and Vai, citing the national park on the Cretan wild goat’s exclusive European habitat and Protothema on Vai’s roughly 250‑hectare palm forest with sunbeds and umbrellas.
