Beach overall scores
Lakoudi Beach (Crete) is located outside the Korfos 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 Gavdos island and the correct question is not how to get to Lakoudi Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The beach was simply stunning, with its glistening, pristine waters that were as clear as glass. While the descent down to the beach was a bit challenging, navigating the gravel hill was well worth the effort. The natural beauty of the beach was truly awe-inspiring, and it was a magical experience to be surrounded by such breathtaking scenery."

I have made a mental note to visit this captivating location during my next trip. Trust me, it is an experience that should not be missed."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Lakoudi Beach (Region of Crete) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Lakoudi Beach (Region of Crete) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Lakoudi Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
