Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Lepria 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 Lepria 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 Lepria 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.

Small pebble beach. From Heraklion approximately 70 km. There is a path leading to the beach. Next to the beach there is a large dirt slope that is crumbling; the descent to the beach is not very easy.

Between Trypiti and Kartari. Do not attempt this on foot. Only by sea and most likely you will be alone.
