Agios Antonios is located in Crete within Kato Selle, 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

"The stunning scenery of the beach is located in an isolated area, giving it the feeling of being at the edge of the world. It's a breathtaking sight that will leave you in awe."

Nate Rendall.

"The beach is a secluded haven where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature. The path leading to it is effortless and hassle-free, making the journey a breeze. The crystal-clear waters offer an ideal spot for snorkeling enthusiasts, with an abundance of marine life to explore. However, it's worth noting that there are no restroom facilities available on the beach. On our way..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Agios Antonios (Crete island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Agios Antonios (Crete island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Agios Antonios for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
