About

Akra Trachili is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 478th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 89.8 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Vathi settlement, just 3.4 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains.

It is a small bay with blue water and rocks cover, so it is highly 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, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Akra Trachili 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.

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

Akra Trachili (Crete) is located outside the Vathi 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 Akra Trachili, 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.

If you drive up to the church and walk down, you'll find that while it may not be the most beautiful beach on Crete, it is certainly the southernmost beach of the island.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Akra Trachili (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 Akra Trachili (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 Akra Trachili 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.
