Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Paralia Koudouma (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 Paralia Koudouma (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 Paralia Koudouma 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 absolutely fantastic, with a stunning route leading up to it. Additionally, the light pebbles on the shore add to the overall charm of the location.

The beach has clear water and small pebbles, but be prepared for a bumpy ride getting there due to the rough and unpaved road.

Although it requires a 24 km drive on a dirt road from Sternes village, the beach can get quite crowded during the summer. However, the beach itself is quite lovely. The real highlight, though, are the stunning views during the drive. They are truly breathtaking and definitely worth seeing!

Koudouma Beach, situated on the western side of Cape Martelos and south of Mount Kofinas, is located 74km south of Heraklion. It's worth noting that the beach has light pebbles.
