If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Psili Ammos beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

User reviews
"This beach located near one of Crete's most famous beaches is truly lovely. In my opinion, it's even better than Vai beach. However, it's important to adhere to the signs that designate it as a Nudist Beach and go au naturel. If you're not comfortable with that, then it's best to stick to Vai beach for your swimming needs."
Liam Jorvik.
"This beach is absolutely fantastic for nudists or those who enjoy FKK. Additionally, it is easily accessible, making it a great option for anyone looking to spend a day by the water."
