Triopetra beach
8 Kairos Wexler

If you're seeking a serene and less populated beach, this is the perfect spot for you. We had the pleasure of enjoying the beach with only about 10 others in our vicinity during our visit. However, it's important to note that certain areas of the beach are not suitable for swimming due to the presence of sharp stones and plates. I learned this the hard way when I accidentally cut my foot. As a word of caution, please be mindful of where you step. On the bright side, there's a nearby tavern that serves scrumptious food if you're in need of a bite.

Agia Galini beach
9 Enrico Stucchi

The most beautiful beach in Crete. Crystal clear water, bucolic landscape, excellent tavern food and in addition equipped beach and free beach. Relaxation in the round and never crowded.

Ligres beach

In 2022 I was there for the first time. I found peace and solace that I needed so much at that time. I came back in May 2023. And I want to go back there

Red Tower beach

This seaside hamlet boasts a handful of quaint cafes and eateries, though nothing that will blow your flip-flops off.

Agios Pavlos beach
8 Santino Reyes

What a charming little beach, with water so clear you can see the fish swimming below. However, don't be fooled by its innocent appearance - getting in and out of the water is no easy feat. But fear not, for the stunning vistas of the bay that surround you are worth the effort.

Small Triopetra

This serene and immaculate beach is a true gem, boasting a tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural beauty. The peaceful sea is devoid of any rough waves, making it perfect for a serene swim. Our entire family of five visited on September 24th, 2019, and were delighted to find easy access to the beach and free offshore parking. Initially, we mistook it for the nearby Trioptra beach, but were pleasantly surprised to discover this smaller, yet equally enjoyable beach. We relished in the calm and crystal-clear waters, taking in the picturesque scenery while lounging under the shade of a nearby tree. From our vantage point, we could admire the Trioptra rocks from a distance, and basked in the idyllic weather. Eventually, we made our way to the larger Triopatra beach, where we were able to get a closer look at the three iconic rocks. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at this hidden paradise and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful and beautiful beach getaway.
