Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Astropelekita 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 Astropelekita 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 Astropelekita 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.

The beaches are lovely! Though the tide was high and the ocean was a bit turbulent, Sandy Beach was the only stretch of sand available. Nonetheless, the journey there was incredibly pleasant, albeit quite hot due to the lack of shelter. It's important to bring along plenty of water and comfortable footwear.

This beach is absolutely delightful, although it requires a bit of effort to reach. It is a must-visit spot on the trek from Paleochora to Sougia. Despite its small size, there is a high likelihood that you will have the entire beach to yourself.

A sandy beach is a mere 35-minute walk away, but don't get too excited. Sure, there's plenty of space to stretch out and relax, but only if you're lucky enough to have it all to yourself. And let's be real, who wants to hoof it that far just to share their slice of paradise with a bunch of strangers? But hey, if you're up for a little exercise and don't mind taking your chances, it might just be worth the trek.

This magnificent little beach is a true gem that is well worth the journey to get there. Its beauty is unparalleled, and it is a serene spot that can only accommodate a few small groups of visitors at a time.
