Istron Bay II is located in Crete within Istro, 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

"I went to the beach without actually staying at the hotel, but that wasn't an issue. I simply had to pay €10 at the hotel reception for a sunbed, parasol, and parking. The beach itself was stunning and peaceful, with a minimal crowd. It's definitely worth a visit if you're seeking a tranquil atmosphere with few people."

Emma Reynolds

"Although we didn't stay overnight, we opted for a day pass to access the pool and beach and had a fantastic time. This hotel on the Greek coast has a wonderfully relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, offering breathtaking views. It was definitely worth spending 10 Euros for a family of four to escape the crowded tourist beach nearby. The experience was incredibly peaceful, seclu..."
