About

Kamara Beach is located on the Sea of Crete (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 242th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 93.3 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Prinos settlement, just 3.6 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a small bay with crystal turquoise water and light sand & pebble cover, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Kamara Beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

12 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Geropotamos beach, which has a rating of 7.8.

Kamara Beach (Crete) is located outside the Prinos settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Crete island and the correct question is not how to get to Kamara Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

Geropotamos beach on the left offers a stunning swimming spot, allowing you to easily access this beautiful beach. Alternatively, you can also reach it by boat or take a leisurely walk from Spilies beach.

The beach is absolutely amazing and definitely worth visiting! We even had the opportunity to film two music videos there (check them out on YouTube under 'Mia Joki'). The scenery was breathtaking! Additionally, within the area, you might come across some curious ducks who are interested in what you have in your bag.

My girlfriend and I swam from our hotel, Iberostar, to this beach using air mattresses. We had the beach all to ourselves and visited it twice. It's inaccessible by any other means except swimming, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

The beach is truly representative of the region. The caves are absolutely charming and definitely worth exploring while enjoying the seaside. The drive from the road down to the beach is a bit narrow and the road itself is in poor condition. It's quite unfortunate that the roads in Greece are generally neglected and not designed with tourists in mind. The natural beauty of the area, however, is truly magnificent.
