A stunning location, boasting pristine waters of remarkable clarity! The route leading to this idyllic spot is easily navigable, and ample parking is available in the vicinity. The beach itself is a peaceful oasis, complete with a beachfront bar, restaurant, and lodging options. The proprietor and staff are exceptionally welcoming, and the prices are unbeatable. I highly recommend a visit to this remarkable destination.

This beach is truly exceptional, offering ample shade, a delightful bar/restaurant, and a serene atmosphere with only a handful of visitors. It's an idyllic escape that surpasses the overhyped beaches along the north shore, providing a truly tranquil and rejuvenating experience.

In May, I stumbled upon a petite beach that was simply perfect. The peaceful atmosphere was enhanced by the presence of a few rocks nearby. This spot is ideal for those who enjoy snorkeling, as the clear waters are home to a variety of fish waiting to be discovered. While exploring the beach, I collected some small stones as souvenirs. To my delight, there was a charming tavern located right next to the shore. As the day drew to a close, I found myself in awe of the stunning sunset that I was able to witness from this very spot.

The pathway leading to the beach is conveniently accessible. It's a delightful spot to indulge in a refreshing swim or go snorkeling. The water is breathtakingly clear and stunningly beautiful. Although the beach is rocky, it's still a gratifying experience with the right pair of water shoes. A nearby tavern offers an array of traditional Greek cuisine and fresh seafood for a delectable dining experience. Additionally, there's a shower with sweet water to rinse off the saltwater. All in all, it's a remarkable destination worth exploring.

This secluded beach is a peaceful oasis, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The breathtaking scenery is simply awe-inspiring, and the crystal-clear waters are ideal for a refreshing dip. However, it's worth noting that the beach is quite rocky, so it's advisable to bring appropriate footwear.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Ravdoucha 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 Ravdoucha 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 Ravdoucha 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.
