Agia Marina beach (Crete) is located outside the Argoules 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 Agia Marina 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

"Agia Marina Beach is a secluded spot that can only be accessed by a gravel road, making it a peaceful and untouched destination away from the crowds of tourists. If you arrive early, you may be lucky enough to find shade under one of the trees. Campers particularly enjoy this beautiful location. For refreshments, Taverna Anna is conveniently located nearby for drinks and sn..."

Nolan Crestwood

"It's best to avoid the first taverna on windy days, and keep in mind that camping is not recommended due to police patrols. The water is clean, but be cautious of light plastics being blown around by the wind. It's recommended to visit during a full moon for the best experience."
