Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Ammoudi 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 Ammoudi 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 Ammoudi 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.

This beach is inaccessible"

Report

Due to the installation of an iron net, the route leading to the beach has been blocked off, rendering it inaccessible by foot or vehicle. However, the nearby Filaki beach is conveniently located and easily accessible.

Unfortunately, access to the beach has been restricted due to the closure of the road leading to it. Both driving and walking are currently not possible as an iron net has been put in place. This is truly a disappointing turn of events.

We couldn't locate the beach, as our GPS directed us towards a boat parking area. It was quite puzzling.

The Beach proved to be quite inaccessible, which made it a waste of time. However, upon further investigation, I discovered another beach called Ammoudi Beach located further east on Maps. Perhaps the positive recommendations were actually referring to that beach instead?
