Vougiou Mati (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 can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
