Beach overall scores
Katarti beach (Crete) is located outside the Tripiti settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Crete island and the correct question is not how to get to Katarti beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The beach is a beautiful and wild place that offers a secluded environment. To access it, it is recommended to use a 4x4 car and drive 8 kilometers on an off-road path. Unfortunately, we tried to reach it with a regular car and ended up damaging the engine block, causing oil leakage."

"The moment I set my eyes on it, I fell in love with the beach. It was a place of pure bliss and romance, found nowhere else but in Crete. The natural beauty of the beach was simply breathtaking, with its unique wildness and a heart-shaped formation that was unlike any other. It was a truly enchanting experience that left me in awe."
