Havania beach is located in Crete within Katsikia, 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

"Agios Nikolaos boasts one of the most pleasant shorelines around! This well-managed beach is adorned with pebbles and features a spacious parking area. Despite the pebble-covered beach, the sea's interior is sandy, providing a unique experience. The pebbles are ideal for collecting, thanks to their exceptional shapes."

Kairos Yilmaz

"This petite pebble shoreline provides a perfect spot for indulging in the serene underwater world. The crystal-clear waters are ideal for snorkeling enthusiasts. The rental of a sunbed and parasol is reasonably priced at 10€, making it a budget-friendly option for a day at the beach."
