Kerame: (also referred to as Kerames) is a picturesque village in the Municipality of Agios Vasileios, in the Rethymno Regional Unit of Crete. Situated at an altitude of approximately 300 meters, about 47.5 kilometers south of the city of Rethymno, it has been designated a traditional settlement due to its authentic Cretan architecture and historical significance. How to Get There: By car: Kerame is about an hour from Rethymno via the provincial road Rethymno - Spili - Agia Galini. The route offers beautiful views of the Cretan landscape. By bus: There are KTEL bus services from Rethymno to nearby areas (e.g., Spili), but reaching Kerame may require combining with a taxi or checking local schedules. Attractions: Traditional Settlement: The village retains its traditional charm with stone houses, narrow alleys, and natural 'keramidopetres' (large slabs resembling tiles), from which it likely derived its name. Ancient Settlement at Pyrgos: About 4 kilometers south of Kerame, near the sea, lie the ruins of an ancient settlement from the Pre-Palatial period (2600-2000 BC), featuring walls, pottery, and coins. The area is linked to the ancient city of Bionnos or Kionia. Natural Landscapes: The Keramos hill offers stunning views and hiking trails, while its steep rocky side adds dramatic flair to the scenery. Nearby Beaches: Agia Fotia: About 4 kilometers from Kerame. A small, quiet pebbled beach with crystal-clear waters, ideal for seclusion. Less known than other beaches in the area, it offers tranquility even in summer. Rocks form natural caves, adding a unique charm. Ligkres: About 5 kilometers from Kerame. Located below the village of Agia Paraskevi and at the foot of Mount Siderotas, it forms the central part of the Akoumiani Gialia beach. With coarse sand and deep, clear waters, it stands out for its peacefulness, as difficult access from northern Crete’s urban centers has kept tourism development minimal. It’s not highly organized but has a tavern with rooms at its western end, accessible by a paved road. Triopetra: About 7 kilometers from Kerame. A large sandy beach with coarse pebbles in parts, famous for the three imposing rocks emerging from the sea (hence the name 'Triopetra'). It has crystal-clear, deep waters in some areas, usually calm, though waves may occur with southern winds. Divided into two sections: 'Big Triopetra' (more open and popular) and 'Small Triopetra' (quieter, to the west). There are a few taverns and rooms nearby, but no sunbeds or organized facilities, preserving its natural character. Ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and walking along the coast. Perfect for relaxation. Preveli (or Foinikas): About 10 kilometers from Kerame. One of Crete’s most famous beaches, known for the palm forest along the Kourtaliotis River, which flows into the sea. The beach combines golden sand, turquoise waters, and an exotic landscape, reminiscent of a tropical destination. Ideal for swimming, hiking in the palm forest, and exploring the river area. Agios Pavlos: About 15 kilometers from Kerame. Smaller and more secluded than Triopetra, with fine sand, rocks forming natural pools, and dunes adding unique beauty. Its waters are deep, clear, and vividly blue, perfect for snorkeling, though waves may occur. It has one tavern and a few rooms, without organized facilities. Great for swimming, exploration, yoga, and best in summer for bathing or autumn for tranquility. Activities: Hiking: The area is ideal for hikes in the surrounding mountains and gorges, such as the nearby Kourtaliotiko Gorge. Gastronomy: Try local specialties like dakos, fried snails (hohlioi boubouristoi), and Cretan cheeses in village or nearby taverns. Photography: The traditional architecture and natural landscapes offer excellent opportunities for photography enthusiasts. Accommodation: Kerame offers limited options, mainly rental rooms and small guesthouses providing authentic hospitality. When to Visit: Summer: Ideal for beaches and warm weather (June-August). Spring/Autumn: Best for hiking and mild climate (April-May, September-October). Additional Information: The village has a small population and a peaceful character, perfect for those seeking escapes from crowded tourist destinations.
