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

"The beach is lovely, but be aware that there are large rocks so it might be worth bringing some water shoes. If you want to rent two sunbeds with a parasol, it will cost you five euros. Additionally, there is a mini market, cafeteria, and restrooms available. If you plan on staying overnight, there are apartments for rent."

Liam Garcia

"The beach is quite pleasant with a mix of pebbles and fine sand leading into the sea, which means you don't have to wear any special footwear. The water is not chilly, but rather refreshing, particularly during the hotter months. A set of two sunbeds and a parasol can be rented for 5 euros."
