About

Katsouni beach is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 398th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 103.3 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Agia Fotini settlement, just 1.3 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains.

It is a spacious coastline with crystal turquoise water and gray 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. Moreover, this beach is popular with naturists.

Katsouni beach 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.

Getting to the beach is quite simple: just take a short walk along the trail. Parking is located at some distance, within 300 meters.

11 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Small Triopetra, which has a rating of 7.7.

Katsouni beach (Crete) is located outside the Agia Fotini 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 Katsouni beach 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.

This secluded spot is located to the west of Ligres beach and can only be accessed by foot via a small path from Ligres beach. The beach boasts a mix of sand, greenery, and rocks, and the waters are crystal clear. It's worth noting that this beach is frequented by nudists. The landscape and views are stunning, making it a great spot for a relaxing holiday.

The beach was truly stunning, but upon our arrival, we were met with strong gusts of wind that made our visit less than ideal. The sand was practically everywhere, including in our eyes, leaving us feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Katsouni 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 Katsouni 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 Katsouni beach 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.
