The beach is quite small and tends to get very crowded, but it's worth a visit for its beautiful golden sand.
The beauty of this beach cannot be fully captured in pictures. It's definitely worth the short hike to get there, but make sure to wear sturdy sneakers as you'll encounter some rocky terrain. Plus, the golden sand is an added bonus.
Initially, we were hesitant to visit this petite beach, but we are grateful that we did not miss out on this gem. From a picturesque standpoint, it is the most stunning beach in Crete. However, it is more of a one-time visit, akin to a sightseeing experience. The breathtaking view, vibrant hues, and crystal-clear waters will leave you spellbound. To avoid the crowd, it is advisable to arrive early and plan to spend only an hour there, rather than the entire day.
This exquisite beach may be small, but it is a hidden gem that is worth discovering. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would highly recommend it. However, during the peak summer season, it can become quite busy with tourists. If you plan on visiting, keep these three things in mind. Firstly, the road leading to the beach is narrow and winding, so you must drive with caution. It's not impossible, but it does require careful attention. Secondly, the hike down to the beach from the parking area can be challenging, so it's best to wear appropriate footwear. Sandals are not recommended for this hike, but don't worry, it's not too strenuous. Lastly, it's best to visit in the first half of the day as the sun starts to disappear behind the cliffs in the afternoon. Overall, this beach is a must-see destination that promises an unforgettable experience.
This beach nestled among the mountains is truly amazing. The views are simply incredible and it's a great place to relax on the golden sand.
