Caves beaches is located in Crete within Bali, which makes it not only easily accessible, but even popular among tourists. However, during the high season it is quite uncrowded, which allows you to spend a comfortable time on the coast.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Crete island, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"Breathtaking. A hidden gem. May it remain a cherished secret. A serene, uncrowded, cozy, and idyllic beach. Protected from harsh northern gusts. Scenic vistas and ideal for soaking up the sun. The sun loungers were an absolute bargain at just 7€, considering the uniqueness of this location. This is undoubtedly one of our top picks for beaches in Crete."

Lena Parker

"The grotto is a lovely secluded spot that can only be reached by swimming or paddling. It offers picturesque views and the water is crystal clear. Plus, it's not as crowded as the main beach."
