Castles of Crete - Frangokastello Beach & Venetian Fort

Crete is not just beautiful beaches, rugged landscape, and great parties - its all about history, too. The island is strategic, meaning it was a target of many empires and civilizations through the millennia, including the city-state of Venice. It was during Venetian rule over Crete when this fortress was built. In a previous video we highlighted the Frangokastello beach and we passed the castle on the way in - this time we won&just walk by en route to the beach bar, we&take a stroll through the fortress, checking out every nook and cranny while discussing the history of the place. We also mentioned another local legend relating to this castle in our Orthi Ammos video, which is located just at the end of Frangokastello beach. The sand shares a storied past and we are reminded of it every year, so it is said. Enjoy this bit of Cretan history and subscribe to the good life!!
