Beach overall scores
Agiofarango beach (Crete) is located outside the Kali Limenes 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. 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 Agiofarango 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. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is absolutely breathtaking and can be accessed by taking a 1.5km walk. It's important to bring plenty of food and water as there are no cafes on the beach. However, there is a small kiosk at the parking area where you can purchase drinks and snacks. If you're considering bringing a stroller, it may be best to choose a different beach as the path can be a bit rough..."

"The beach is stunning and peaceful, with a lack of crowds and gentle waters perfect for snorkeling. However, it's important to note that there isn't much natural shade, so it's recommended to bring along a beach umbrella."
