The beach is truly breathtaking! As many have already mentioned, the journey to get there is quite unique and memorable. However, it is definitely worth it as the swimming spots are simply magnificent and the village itself is incredibly peaceful and serene.

8 Very good

This beach is small and peaceful, with pebbles, tamarind trees, and refreshing, crystal-clear waters that are ideal for swimming. However, the road leading to the beach is in poor condition and poses a significant risk of damage to sedans. While some areas are covered in dirt during the summer, this is not a viable solution. It's simply unacceptable in this day and age, especially in 2022.

10 Exceptional

The route leading to the beach from Kapetaniana may not be the smoothest ride, and it is highly recommended to opt for a sturdy off-road vehicle. But once you arrive, the serenity and enchantment of the place will make it all worth it. For those seeking a tranquil and peaceful escape, this beach is nothing short of magical.

Ag.Ioannis beach (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 Ag.Ioannis beach (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 Ag.Ioannis beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
