About

Stavrolimni Beach is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 346th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 150.7 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Ambelos settlement, just 3.2 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains.

It is a straight coastline with crystal turquoise water and bright sand, so you don't need 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.

Stavrolimni 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.

6 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Pyrgos Beach, which has a rating of 7.7.

Stavrolimni Beach (Crete) is located outside the Ambelos 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 Gavdos island and the correct question is not how to get to Stavrolimni Beach, 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.
