About

Spiaggia Lavrakas is located on the Mediterranean Sea and it is in the 346th place out of 478 beaches in the Crete region 150.4 km away from its center, the city of Kastelli. It is one of the beaches of Fokia settlement, just 3 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a spacious 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. Moreover, this beach is popular with naturists.

Spiaggia Lavrakas 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.

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

Spiaggia Lavrakas (Crete) is located outside the Fokia 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 Spiaggia Lavrakas, 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.

2 Very poor

The beach experience was quite unpleasant as it was infested with scorpions and unwelcoming individuals. The weather was sweltering and the mosquitoes made it unbearable. The atmosphere was laid-back with many people opting to go naked, but unfortunately, the lack of hygiene was evident. The beach was also overcrowded and plagued with pesky flies.

A solitary and remote beach awaits you. The coastline is covered in soft sand, however, there is an abundance of rocks that line the water's edge.
