Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Lakoudi Beach (Region of Crete) 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 Lakoudi Beach (Region of Crete) 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 Lakoudi 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 pebble beach is exclusively accessible by boat or by foot from Korfos, along the trail leading to Tripiti. It takes approximately an hour to leisurely traverse the route. The final stretch of the journey is a steep descent on rocky terrain, and a ladder is available to aid in the descent. However, the exertion is well worth it, as the water is crystal clear and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. We relished the peaceful solitude of the area, basking in the shade of a cedar tree while admiring the majestic sea.

During our journey towards Tripiti, we overlooked this stunning beach. However, I now feel remorseful for not taking a moment to pause and appreciate its beauty for at least an hour. I have made a mental note to visit this captivating location during my next trip. Trust me, it is an experience that should not be missed.

This beach is a hidden gem, often overlooked by tourists who flock to Tripiti. The beach is secluded and tranquil, offering a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. At the far end of the beach, there is a natural alcove in the rocks, providing a shaded spot to relax and cool off from the sun's rays. This spot is perfect for those seeking a bit of solitude and privacy while enjoying the beauty of the beach.

The beach was simply stunning, with its glistening, pristine waters that were as clear as glass. While the descent down to the beach was a bit challenging, navigating the gravel hill was well worth the effort. The natural beauty of the beach was truly awe-inspiring, and it was a magical experience to be surrounded by such breathtaking scenery.
