Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Pachia Ammos (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 Pachia Ammos (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 Pachia Ammos 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.

Caution should be taken when approaching this beach from the road above. It is advisable to wear appropriate footwear to avoid the risk of second-degree burns when descending the sand dunes. The recommended route to access the beach is from the west, specifically via Villa Ilias.

The serene ambiance of this beach is perfect for those seeking solitude amidst the beauty of nature. The sand dunes that stretch out before you are a sight to behold, and the crystal-clear waters are a refreshing treat for swimmers. The highlight of this beach is undoubtedly the towering sand dune that will leave you spellbound, but you'll have to put in a little effort to reach it.
