It is absolutely worth making the journey to this beach at least once. Despite driving for over an hour from Kissamos, we were not disappointed upon arrival. Although the parking area at the beach is limited, you can park your car before the final ascent of the road. The water is crystal clear and pleasantly warm, with towering cliff walls that plunge deep into the ocean. Snorkeling here is truly a breathtaking experience! If you're feeling adventurous, you can even take the plunge and jump from the cliffs, ranging from a few meters to over 5 meters high. However, keep in mind that climbing to these spots is at your own risk.

Although the journey from Chania to this beach may be lengthy, it is certainly worth the effort. The panoramic view from above is breathtaking, but the underwater scenery is even more impressive with a diverse range of fish, crabs, and even a small cave. This location is ideal for snorkeling enthusiasts. Additionally, there is a small rocky beach for those who prefer to relax and soak up the sun's rays.

The beach is petite and adorned with pebbles. It exudes a serene and picturesque ambiance, and it's not overly packed. It's highly recommended to bring along swim shoes to enjoy your time in the water.

The Little Stoney beach is an absolute haven for adventure seekers. As you stroll along the shoreline, you might catch a glimpse of some daredevils diving or snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters. The most thrilling experience, however, is cliff jumping, but it's important to exercise caution as there are many rocks around. To ensure your safety, it's best to venture as far out as possible. Overall, Little Stoney beach is a must-visit destination for those seeking an adrenaline-packed day out.

This charming beach is a must-visit destination, but make sure to arrive early to secure a parking spot at the base. It's an ideal location for some delightful snorkeling, but be cautious and inspect the water's depth before diving in, as some parts are shallower than others.
