Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Vlychada 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 Vlychada 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 Vlychada 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.

The beach is small and has pebbles, but it is easily accessible. However, getting into the water may be a bit challenging, so I suggest wearing water shoes for safety.

4 Frustrating

Upon arriving at the beach, one may notice a significant amount of litter and debris scattered about. Although the water itself is satisfactory, the overall ambiance of the area leaves much to be desired. Instead of soft sand, visitors are met with large stones that may not be to everyone's liking.

This serene beach has a lack of commercialization, allowing for an unadulterated appreciation of the ocean's natural splendor. Simply park alongside the roadway, come equipped with an umbrella and ample hydration, and descend to the shore for a tranquil and rejuvenating experience. 😌
