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.

User reviews

"Korakas is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches out there! While the road leading to it can be a bit intimidating, it's easily accessible and definitely worth the journey. I would recommend going with someone who knows the way, but don't let that deter you from visiting this stunning spot."

Lintak

"The beach is absolutely lovely, with a serene atmosphere and stunning views. The rocks provide a natural canopy that adds to the beauty of the surroundings. It's a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun, while enjoying the cool breeze from the ocean. The beach is truly a hidden gem and a must-visit for anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating escape."
