About

Ammoudi beach is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 43th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 42.5 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Langada settlement, just 0.9 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, among the mountains, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a small bay with crystal turquoise water and pure bright fine sand, so you don't need 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 etc. It is partially crowded during the high season. Please note that the area nearby is possible for wild camping.

Ammoudi beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

11 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Lagoufa beach, which has a rating of 8.8.

Ammoudi beach (Crete) is located outside the Langada 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

The beach exudes an exquisite charm with its stunning beauty, while the service is nothing short of exceptional. The added benefit of Wi-Fi availability makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing day out. We were charged a total of 16 € for 2 sunbeds, 2 bottles of water, and 2 beers, which was a fair price for the quality of service and amenities provided.

I must say that this beach in Crete has definitely made it to my list of top favourites. The water is a mesmerizing shade of crystal light blue, the sand is immaculately clean, and the best part is that the umbrellas come at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this beach to anyone seeking a peaceful and serene environment, as it is not too crowded.

This stunning beach with a pristine shoreline adorned with velvety sand and a gentle slope into the crystal-clear waters. Despite being an organized beach, it offers ample room for all visitors to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery. While there is a beach bar present, during my visit the atmosphere was serene without any overpowering music. If you opt for the comfort of sunbeds, you can purchase two bottles of water for 6 euros. However, it is worth noting that the beach can become crowded during peak hours in the afternoon.
