Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Dermatos 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 Dermatos 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 Dermatos 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.

Beautiful pristine beach with crystal waters. I also recommend visiting the cliff Dermatos Viewpoint for a beautiful panoramic view over the beach and the Libyan sea.
