Episkopi beach II
10 Zylar Vontis

This beach is a lovely sandy spot with amenities like showers, chaise lounges, and bars. It offers free parking and plenty of space. It's simply everything you could want in a beach! 😊

Rethymnon beach
10 Maxwell Kellerman

The beach is absolutely stunning and mostly covered in sand. However, there are some big pebbles when you first enter the water. Fortunately, the water becomes shallow and sandy about 10 meters from the shore. This beach is perfect for watching the sunrise or sunset.

Episkopi beach
8 Julian Stone

This beach is absolutely fantastic! It boasts an abundance of space, allowing for a peaceful and secluded experience even on a busy Sunday. The sand is pristine and the parking is convenient. The water is crystal clear and the shore is shallow, making it the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun for a day. The only drawback is the lack of amenities available on site.

Pervolia beach II

There seems to be a sewage system in place at the beach, as it emits a strong sewage odor that permeates the entire area. It's quite challenging to tolerate. During our late night walk yesterday, we observed the sewage system in full operation. The following morning, when we went for a swim, we immediately noticed garbage washing up on the shore. We even witnessed brown streams in the water. As a result, we promptly returned to our apartment to take a shower. However, when there is no sewage issue, the water becomes beautifully clear and warm, making it a delightful experience to swim in. Additionally, it appears that they make an effort to suppress reviews that mention this problem.

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.
