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 Agios Pavlos 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.

Nestled in a scenic bay lies a stunning beach that exudes natural beauty. Its location is about 40 kilometers away from Chania, and the most convenient way to reach it is by taking a boat from Ravduchi or Kissamos. In case the weather is dry, the journey can also be made by traversing a dirt road. The beach is a sight to behold and offers a serene environment to relax and take in the breathtaking views.

The beach offers two distinct sides, offering ample opportunities for both sun-soaking and shaded relaxation. Accessible via a lengthy dirt road, the journey to this coastal paradise is well worth the effort. Alternatively, one can opt for a boat ride to arrive at this idyllic destination.

4 Frustrating

As we made our way towards the beach, we were met with an obstacle - a gate that blocked our path. It was situated close to the cultivated section that could be observed in the plain on the left. Despite being tempted to cross it, we refrained from doing so. Unfortunately, it meant that we were unable to reach the beach.
