Just 500m from from Chrisoskalitissa Monastery and 65 km far from Chania city, Aspri Limni beach still remains hidden by thousands of tourists who pass by in a hurry on their way to Elafonisi and Kedrodasos a little bit southern.
You can have access from the monastery through a good and passable dirt road which will lead you forward in this small beach without difficulty. The creek has formed a magnificent lake with scattered rocks at each point and it is surrounded by white sand.
The beach is unknown to everyone and its negative point is that there is no shade for those who would like to go swimming there.
In the area of Aspri Limni, there is the westernmost place of existence of the palm tree Theophrasti (Phoenix Theophrasti), which has been described as a small reserve and is strictly protected.
The Cretan palm tree “Phoenix Theophrasti” is a small palm tree, endemic to the eastern Mediterranean region, with very limited distribution in a few areas of Crete.

The monastery of Chrisoskalitissa is located in the village just before Elafonisi beach, and is perched on a rock with a glorious view of the sea. Its name comes from the Byzantine era, when its last step to the monastery was made of gold (“hryso” in Greek meaning “gold,” and “skala” meaning “stairs”).
The saint’s day of the monastery falls on August 15, which is celebrated the previous day with a feast, when all the tavernas of the area feature local Cretan music.
