The beach is absolutely lovely with crystal-clear waters, and it's easily accessible too. You won't have to go through any trouble to get there. Overall, it's a great spot to relax and soak up some sun.

This beach is an excellent choice for those who prefer to bask in the sun without any clothing. Our stay with our caravan for three days was truly incredible! The serene atmosphere and distance from the bustling city made for a peaceful experience. The restaurant on the premises offers a wide range of meals from breakfast to dinner, however, it does close early, so it's advisable to bring along some snacks. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing vacation.

Filaki beach is undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking nudist beaches in Crete that I have had the pleasure of visiting. This beach is conveniently situated just 700 meters away from the Vritomartis Naturist Resort, making it easily accessible. The beach offers an array of amenities, including sunbeds under umbrellas that you can rent for a comfortable day out. Additionally, there is a charming cafe right on the beach where you can indulge in some refreshments while soaking up the sun. I am utterly enamored with this beach and make it a point to visit every year.

This beach is a fantastic spot for unwinding and getting away from it all. While it is a nudist beach, there is no pressure to bare it all if you're not comfortable with it. The water is crystal clear and the waves are gentle, making it perfect for a refreshing dip. For those who want to relax in style, there are sun beds and umbrellas available for a small fee. One of the best things about this beach is that it's a peaceful retreat, with no noisy children around to disturb your peace. Just be aware that if you're driving from Chania, there is some road construction at the end of the route.
