Beach overall scores
Wild Beach (Crete) is located outside the Tsaliana 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 Wild 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
"The journey from the main road to this tranquil beach may require some effort to locate, yet the experience is well worth it. The shore is comprised of smooth pebbles, creating a unique texture underfoot."
Sophia Andersson
"To get to this beach, you have to walk up the sand dune on the right side of Grammeno beach. It's a small bay and when we visited on August 14th, it was just the three of us there for the whole day."
