Latest reviews on Elea's beaches

Analipsi Beach
10 Aria Bennett

We walked from Gouves to Analipsi Beach, taking our time and enjoying the journey. It took us about an hour and a half to reach our destination.

Arena beach
10 Nikos Karamanlis.

This shoreline is located a mere 10-minute drive from Heraleion. Its calm and shallow waters are perfect for frolicking around, but it's best to avoid venturing too far out during windy conditions, as it can be a bit challenging. Additionally, this beach offers one of the most gorgeous sunsets you'll ever witness.

Amnissos beach
10 Lira Kao

We had a great time at the beach. It was a bit breezy, but that's to be expected. We loved watching planes come in and out of the nearby airport, but the noise didn't bother us. The water was perfect, and there weren't too many rocks. We rented an umbrella and some lounge chairs for 7€ and ordered lunch and cocktails from News Cafe Beach. I suggest getting there early because it fills up fast. We arrived at 10:30 and there were plenty of chairs available, but they were all taken by early afternoon. Overall, we had a great day and would definitely come back!

Anisaras beaches
8 Kira Vasiliev.

This stretch of coastline boasts a pristine and well-maintained beach, complete with convenient mini markets and charming beach bars just a stone's throw away. The atmosphere is nothing short of idyllic, making it the perfect spot to soak up the sun and take in the breathtaking scenery. Whether you're looking to relax or have a bit of fun in the sun, this beach has everything you need for a truly unforgettable experience.

Ammoudara Beach II
8 Paxton Singh

There is a fantastic sandy beach located just a short 10-minute drive away from Heraklion Airport. Visitors can enjoy the convenience of free parking, as well as a selection of charming restaurants that offer excellent value for money.

Arena beach II
10 Vera Karamis

The water at the beach was absolutely incredible. I visited in October 2019, and despite the time of year, the sea was peaceful and the weather pleasantly warm, so I couldn't resist taking a swim. The water is remarkably clear, the beach is peaceful (with not many tourists from late September to early October), and the view is simply perfect, with a small island visible on the horizon.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 29°C and the water temperature up to 26.7°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 14°C and the water temperature down to 17.1°C.
