Chatzivolakas beach (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 Chatzivolakas 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

"This beach is truly one of the most captivating places I have ever been to. The crystal-clear blue sea looks like a work of art, and the lack of commercial activities on the island makes it feel like a true paradise. Climbing up the small hill offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the entire landscape."

Marcello Santoro

"The beach is stunning, with chairs and umbrellas available, as well as a bar playing music."
