SunSet Beach is located in Crete within Agioi Apostoli, which makes it easily accessible and therefore popular among travelers. In the high season this may cause some discomfort, due to the large influx of tourists.

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

"I spent a total of three days at this beach while on my vacation in Crete, and I also had the chance to visit some nearby beaches. All in all, it was a fantastic beach with beautiful golden sand, crystal clear water, and reasonably priced sunbed rentals. I highly recommend it."
