About

Voulolimni is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 398th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 192.6 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Chrisoskalitissa settlement, just 0.5 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, among the mountains.

It is a tiny bay with crystal turquoise 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 etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Voulolimni 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.

3 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Elafonissi Beach, which has a rating of 9.5.

Voulolimni (Crete) is located outside the Chrisoskalitissa 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 Voulolimni 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.

It's a great spot to find some peace and quiet! With only a handful of people around, it almost feels like a private beach. The last stretch of the road, about 200-300 meters, is off-road, but it's definitely worth it. I'd say it's even better than Elafonisi!

The beach possesses a unique charm that captivates visitors with its distinctive allure. Despite the lack of ample space for sunbathing, many tourists flock to the area to capture its picturesque beauty. The road leading to the beach is unpaved, adding to the rustic appeal of the location. The water is exceptionally inviting, although the wind can be quite robust.

I didn't come across this beach on any must-visit lists for Chania, but a local suggested we make a stop there en route to Elafonissi. Essentially, it's a natural pool formed by rock formations that keep the sea water calm and flat, in stark contrast to the rough waves outside. We arrived on a Friday afternoon and found it almost deserted, with just a handful of swimmers around. The route to the beach is fairly straightforward, but you have to turn off the main road onto a small lane that looks like someone's driveway. The road eventually narrows, but any car can navigate it, albeit at a slower pace. Once you park, there are a few trees for shade, but no amenities, so bring your own snacks and drinks if necessary.

If you want to avoid the crowds, head to this beach in the morning. During our trip, we also visited Aspri Limni, which was equally impressive. The water in the lagoon is colder than the sea, but the sand is soft and the entrance appears to be made of concrete. It's easy to reach by car, although the road is dirt in some parts, it's still short and well-maintained.

We stumbled upon this hidden gem while seeking refuge from the overcrowded Elafonisi beach. The natural lagoon boasts crystal-clear turquoise water and is easily accessible, with very few visitors in sight.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Voulolimni (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 Voulolimni (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 Voulolimni 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.
