This place is a real hidden gem! It's easily accessible, as you can park your car along the street and then make your way down the steep path to the shore.

This beach is truly amazing. It's a peaceful spot that's not too crowded. The beach itself is a mix of sand and rocks, and there are some trees for shade, but it's a good idea to bring an umbrella. The water is crystal clear and the beach is clean. It's about a 5-7 minute hike from the parking area, but it's not too difficult or risky. And please, if you visit, be sure to take your trash with you when you leave.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Paralia Listi (Crete island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Paralia Listi (Crete island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Paralia Listi for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
