Heraklion - all beaches

This beach may be small, but it is absolutely stunning. The water is crystal clear and there are convenient paths leading to the water, although the sand can get quite hot. Unfortunately, outside food and drinks are not permitted, and the on-site prices are extremely high. If you want to rent two loungers with a parasol, it will cost you €10.

This charming beach is nestled on a cozy lagoon, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you're looking for comfort, there are comfortable loungers available for rent at a reasonable price of 6€ for a pair. Alternatively, you're welcome to bring your own gear and set up camp along the shore. We opted for both options and were pleased to find that we were left undisturbed throughout our visit.

This picturesque beach is an ideal spot for both relaxation and capturing stunning photographs. The crystal-clear sea, combined with the glistening white pebbles, creates a truly breathtaking scene. It's the perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun's warm rays. Don't forget to book a photoshoot with @photo.crete to capture your memories of this unforgettable location.

This lovely beach offers a great value of 7 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella. The waves are gentle and the bottom is a bit rocky, but it adds to the natural charm of the area. However, be cautious of sea urchins hiding between the rocks as they can cause stings, as my girlfriend unfortunately experienced. Despite this, out of the six beaches we visited during our stay in Crete, this one definitely ranks among the top.

This is our second time staying here and I must say that the experience is still incredible. The hotel is absolutely stunning and the service is impeccable. Every staff member here goes above and beyond to make you feel special and is extremely attentive to any questions or requests you may have. A huge thank you to the architect and designer of the hotel who have created beautiful aesthetics in every corner. Every aspect of the hotel is well-planned, cohesive, and promotes a sense of tranquility. Everything is in perfect order. The breakfast is delicious and offers a wide variety of options. Starting your day of vacation with a glass of sparkling wine will always enhance your experience here at Amirandes Grecotel Boutique Resort.

We went on a girls' vacation for a week at this resort. The resort boasts a small mini market and three different restaurants. The main restaurant's kitchen is open every day, while the other restaurants only operate once or twice a week. The rooms are compact, but they were perfect for a week-long stay for two people, and everything was kept clean. The service provided was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered a decent variety of choices and catered to everyone's preferences. As for dinner at the main restaurant, it was satisfactory. The buffet is available throughout the week, but unfortunately, some fish or meat dishes were overcooked or dry due to excessive cooking time. There are two pools available, although the pool chairs tend to get occupied quickly. Hence, it is necessary to wake up early in order to secure a spot by the pool. The beach is conveniently located just across the street, and hotel guests are provided with complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach itself is well-maintained, and the sea is absolutely stunning.
