User reviews
"The beach is really lovely and there are no pebbles or rocks on the sand. It's also easy to get to, which is a plus. The water has a gentle slope, making it easy to enter. Additionally, there are two sunbeds and an umbrella available for rent at a reasonable price of 7 euros (as of September 2021)."

"I have visited some very secluded beaches in search of soft sand and few crowds, but this particular beach stands out for three reasons: firstly, it's conveniently located right next to Heraklion; secondly, it's easily accessible (although you may have to walk through two hotels that you are not staying in); and lastly, it truly feels like paradise on earth."
