About

Sweet Kolymbos is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 346th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 59.6 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Tris Ekklisies settlement, just 1.7 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 light pebble, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The entrance to the water is very smooth. 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.

Sweet Kolymbos 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.

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

Sweet Kolymbos (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 correct question is not how to get to Sweet Kolymbos, 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.

The beach is easily reached from the west side, but may not be suitable for all visitors. There are stunning caves located on the east side of the beach.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Sweet Kolymbos (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 Sweet Kolymbos (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 Sweet Kolymbos 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.
