Latest reviews on Rethymno's beaches

Plakias beach
10 Natalia Ivanov

This beach is one of the best I've ever visited. It is incredibly clean and definitely worth a visit. The waves here are quite powerful and can toss you around, but the beach itself is entirely sandy, which adds to the fun. It's a perfect spot for kids as they can go as far as 100 meters into the water and still be able to stand.

Korakas beach II
10 Nikolas K.

The beach is fantastic and has well-maintained sunbeds and crystal clear waters. The only downside is that when the wind picks up, you might end up with some sand exfoliation for free.

Beach Pigianos Campos
10 L.M. R.

The scenery is quite lovely, situated in the land of Greece. However, don't let the picturesque view fool you into thinking this beach is anything special. It's just another typical beach with sand and water. Don't expect any unique features or activities to make your visit memorable.

Deach Lake
10 Tommy Thompson

It's a really cool spot with the water shielded by rocks, which means that on windy days, the waves remain small. Additionally, there's this neat little Pirate Ship too.

Gerani
10 Kieran Dornan

This is an exquisite spot to indulge in a cup of coffee and take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear sea water. Additionally, there is a charming tavern on site that serves delectable cuisine. The picturesque old church adds to the allure of the location, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Moreover, a convenient shower with fresh water is situated in the center of the small rocky beach, making it a perfect place to unwind and recharge.

Seabed Beach
10 Lena Müller-Schmidt

Wow, we stumbled upon a fantastic find! We spotted this cove from the road and couldn't resist exploring it. It's definitely one of the best beaches we've been to on the island. The snorkeling in the cove is absolutely amazing - I would say it's the best snorkeling I've ever experienced in Europe. Plus, the cafe offers complimentary sunbeds to their customers, and the food and drinks are top-notch. It's such a peaceful and calming spot that you could easily spend an entire day here.
