Amazing sand sculptures speak for sea protection from plastics, Crete, Amoudara
Amazing sand sculptures on the protection of the marine environment from plastics and other rubbish have created three sculptors in Crete.
The octopus that taps into a tentacle a plastic bottle, a mermaid emerging from the bottom with car tires, the leg that has been hurt by the glass, dead fish the child who has the beach for his toilet, boatman who ... is fishing for garbage, the Siren of Homer Odyssey, the ancient god Poseidon ...
In the light of beautiful Crete and the country that gave birth to sculpture, Greece, sculptors Yuriy Mysko, Lyudmyla Mysko and Manolis Charkoutsis send environmental messages all over the world! The works of even three meters were made in 2016 and in 2017 at the Sand Sculpture Festival in Ammoudara, Malevizion, Crete, under the auspices of the Greek Tourism Organization and the Municipality of Malevizi, with the support of the Region of Crete.

If you have time and budget, we recommend you to visit both Chania and Heraklion. Both cities are beautiful and worth it and can be easily explored at affordable car rent in Crete. However, if you have to make a choice between these two due to some reasons, Chania might be the best choice for you if you are looking for a touristy place. In this blog, you will learn more about Chania and Heraklion and then you can decide for yourself which city meets your island exploration fantasy.
What Makes Chania City Famous?
You can easily drive to Chania city via your rental car. As soon as you reach the city, you will encounter two divisions: the modern Chania and the old Chania. While modern Chania lies on the slope of hills, the older one is nestled on the coast.
Modern Chania is mesmerizing and surpasses the high expectations of most tourists. It is immaculate, stunning, and has a wonderful atmosphere. Its beautiful streets are lined by lush green plants that provide cool shade. You can easily find coffee houses, taverns, and restaurants there. The best part is that Chania city imparts a real city feel as it is not built especially for tourists and you will be left awestruck by its raw beauty.
Old Chania is not that big but you will love seeing and experiencing its gorgeous houses dotted in its leafy streets. Everything is great in condition and it is also safe to walk around. While this part of the city is amazing, take note that you cannot bathe in the heart of the Old Town. For that, you should go to a lovely beach that is just a couple of minutes away.
Attraction Points:
· The Old Port
· Lighthouse of Chania
· Archaeological Museum
· Venetian Fortress
· Orthodox Cathedral

What Makes Heraklion City Famous?
Heraklion often appears in many stories and books which makes it naturally a desirable place to visit. The majestic Mount Juktas offers an amazing view and adds to the appeal of the city. A typical Greek city, Heraklion is the place where nondescript buildings from the 60s onwards co-exist with historic ones. It is the heart of Crete and is also its capital city. It is quintessential to develop a deeper understanding of Greek and European history.
It is the best place for people who have a deep interest in archaeological remains. The amazing part of Heraklion is the older part of the city. Since most of it is pedestrian, you can explore this city with ease alk while enjoying its beauty in peace. Like Chania, you will find lots of restaurants and coffee houses. All you need is to relax, search for amazing architecture, and feel the vibrant vibes.
