Kataprosopo (Crete) is located outside the Ierapetra 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 Chrisi island and the correct question is not how to get to Kataprosopo, 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

"Chrissi beach offers two distinct experiences - one bustling with people, and the other secluded and serene. With only 3 or 4 people per 200 meters of pristine sandy shore, you can choose to arrive by ferry or small boat and explore the hidden coves where you can gather fleur de sel."

Zara K.

"This seaside paradise is an oasis of serenity that is perfect for anyone seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The beach is not only breathtakingly beautiful, but it is also remarkably peaceful with only a handful of people around. This hidden gem is ideal for those who crave a bit of tranquility and solitude. Despite its secluded location, finding this..."
