About

Krygia Vlychada is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 334th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 56.9 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Tris Ekklisies settlement, just 1.1 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, surrounded by the cliffs. This beach is not a well-known place, so it is well suited for a relaxing leisure.

It is a small bay with crystal turquoise water and gray fine pebble, 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 etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Krygia Vlychada 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.

This beach is easily accessible, it is located very close to road. Parking is located directly on the beach.

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

Krygia Vlychada (Crete) is located outside the Tris Ekklisies 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. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Krygia Vlychada with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

The winding road leading to the beach offers a breathtaking view as you descend from an altitude of over 1300 meters to sea level. The journey is filled with numerous hairpin bends that add to the thrill of the experience. Once you reach the bottom, you'll be greeted by a tranquil bay that's perfect for swimming and relaxation. The sleepy atmosphere of the beach is complemented by a variety of taverns that offer delicious local cuisine. It's an experience that's definitely worth the trip.

I had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful beaches of Santorini, which were truly a sight to behold. The island's unique volcanic landscape gives it a distinct and mesmerizing appearance that is unlike any other beach destination. The clear blue waters and soft sandy shores made for a perfect day of relaxation and soaking up the sun. If you're looking for a picturesque and unforgettable beach experience, Santorini is the place to be.

This nice beach boasts of natural beauty that is sure to take your breath away. However, it is unfortunate that the lack of service may not meet the expectations of some visitors. Additionally, the unpaved road leading to the beach may pose a challenge for those driving regular cars.

The beaches are absolutely lovely, however, it is important to stay vigilant while traveling to them. It is also advisable to bring along essential items such as water, food, and fully charged batteries in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Krygia Vlychada (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 Krygia Vlychada (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 Krygia Vlychada 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.
