Located on the island of Gavdos, this beach is a true gem of the Mediterranean coast. The journey to reach it is a pleasant walk of just under two kilometers, surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery that offers a majestic spectacle. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by soft sand and crystal clear water that invite you to relax and unwind. On the left side of the beach, near the gorges, you'll discover a fantastic green clay that can be mixed with sea water and spread on your body for a rejuvenating experience. Remember to bring plenty of water and food, as you'll want to spend many hours basking in the sun and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

The Lavrakas area of the island boasts my absolute favourite beach, a serene stretch of sand with pristine, crystalline waters that are often blissfully uncrowded.
