Vai, Crete, Greece
On the remote northeastern tip of Crete, Greece, lies a quiet corner far from typical tourist routes. Today"s image shows Vai Beach, a broad curve of golden sand bordered by calm, shallow waters of the Aegean Sea.

It consists of more than 5,000 Cretan date palm trees, a species native to Crete and parts of Turkey.Desktop Version
