Attempting to narrow down the best of anything can be an overwhelming task but especially when we are talking about the best of Greek beaches. With over a thousand islands spread along the Mediterranean, countless bays, coves and one of the longest coastlines in the world you’d be hard pressed to find a “bad” swimming spot.
Following are some of the most spectacular and unique beaches of Greece - in no particular order - that are bucket list worthy.
Elafonisi, Crete
Elafonisi, or Elafonisos, is located in the southwestern most point of Crete, the largest of the Greek islands that lies at the Southern Aegean Sea. A short drive from the city of Chania, (75km) a visit to Elafonisos can usually be combined with a visit to the nearby Monastery

    While researching Isis on the Ancient History Encyclopedia Web site, I found it interesting that she wore a headdress of an empty throne after her husband Osiris was murdered. I think this is an important detail to know because it shows her devotion to her husband, even after his death. I also really found it interesting the details provided about how Isis was able to find a pillar, created by the tree that kept dead Osiris inside. Unfortunately, even though she was able to cut her dead husband from the pillar and carry him back to Egypt, while she looked for herbs to make a potion to bring him back to life, his brother cut Osiris to pieces and scattered them across the land. I think these are important details because the book gave a high-level…
