JUST 1KM. FROM PRINOS IS THE PICTURESQUE BEACH
OF SKALETA. A LARGE, SANDY BEACH, WHICH HAS
BEEN AWARDED THE EUROPEAN BLUE FLAG FOR THE
CLEANLINESS OF THE BEACH AND CLARITY OF THE SEA.
SKALETA IS ALSO RENOWNED FOR BEING ONE OF THE
LAST REMAINING HATCHING AREAS OF THE ENDANGERED
CARETTA-CARETTA SEA TURTLE. CLOSE BY IS ALSO THE
POPULAR RESORT OF STAVROMENOS.
.
DESPITE CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN HOUSING,
INFRASTRUCTURE AND TOURISM, THIS HAS HAD MINIMAL
IMPACT ON THE AGRICULTURAL AND LIVESTOCK BREEDING
PURSUITS OF THE LOCALS AND PRINOS RETAINS ITS
AUTHENTIC, RELAXED ATMOSPHERE.
.
AS WELL AS PRINOS VILLAGE'S VALUE AS A SITE OF
NATURAL BEAUTY, IT ALSO BOASTS AN IMPORTANT
HISTORICAL HERITAGE. THE FANTAXOSPILIARA CAVE OR
GHOST CAVE HAS BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE BEEN A SACRED
PLACE OF WORSHIP DURING THE LATE MINOAN PERIOD
1600-1100 B.C.
.
IT IS HAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAVES IN
CRETE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ACCESS TO IT IS
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. PRINOS ALSO HAS AN
INTERESTING BYZANTINIAN CHURCH THAT DATES FROM
THE 13TH CENTURY AND SHOWS SOME UNIQUE
ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
