ABOUT THREE ROCK & TRIOPETRA BEACH
Τhree-Rock
is a unique studio with a design that combines a touch from the '60s with the
current look and you can also find all the necessary amenities of a modern
tourist accommodation. Designed to accommodate two to four people, the studio
is one very large furnished room of 70 sq.m., (with a separate bathroom) with a
lot of space which allows you to cook, dine, relax all day if you want and can
simply and easily be tailored to your taste. The studio has a large terrace
(about 25 square m.) at the front, facing the sea, and a back terrace facing
east with a view to the hills. The distance from the beach is just 250 meters.
According
to several guidebooks and websites, Triopetra is one of the most beautiful
beaches in Crete -and Greece.
But it remains a beach that is not known to many people. It has fans (from Greece
and abroad) who visit it each year and their number is increasing steadily.
Still, it remains a kind of unexplored paradise. Guests are able to enjoy a
beach that is never crowded, even in the heart of summer, as the length of Triopetra beach is about two
kilometers! The beach is named after the three rocks located at the eastern
edge of the bay. In the same area, there is a cave, where there was probably a
Sanctuary at the time of the Minoans. The opening of the cave resembles a
dragon’s mouth and the arrangement of the rocks inspired the creation of
various legends. In modern times, the beach, although reminiscent of an
undiscovered paradise, has restaurants, a cafe and a beach bar as well as
(free) umbrellas and lounges for those who prefer them. Triopetra beach is also
known for yoga courses delivered during the summer months in the surrounding
area.

Learning to proofread your work yourself is a must-have skill. But, it always helps to have a second pair of eyes review your work to make sure you haven't missed embarassing typos, or grammatical and syntactical errors. I'd suggest WordsRU.com for this.
