Although our initial plan was to camp in the nearby gorge, we ended up spending the night on the beach instead. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a pleasant experience. However, I wouldn't suggest it as a viable option for others.

This beach is absolutely fantastic! It boasts an abundance of space, allowing for a peaceful and secluded experience even on a busy Sunday. The sand is pristine and the parking is convenient. The water is crystal clear and the shore is shallow, making it the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun for a day. The only drawback is the lack of amenities available on site.

The beach stretches out for quite a distance, with soft sand that is interrupted by pebbles in some areas, particularly along the water's edge. If you venture towards the Petre Bridge side, you'll find La Playa taverna, a cozy restaurant with a covered seating area right next to the beach. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, with a focus on traditional Cretan cuisine. You'll also find plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, as well as a few in the garden area under the trees, which are free for customers to use. The staff are attentive and will happily bring you drinks and snacks without being pushy. If you decide to take a dip in the sea, there's a lifeguard station nearby for added safety. However, be aware that the sea can be quite rough at times, as is often the case in Crete. It's a good idea to bring beach shoes, as the sand can get very hot and the small stones can be difficult to walk on when you come out of the water.

The expanse of this beach is remarkable, adorned with untamed sand that beckons you to explore. It's the perfect spot to find solitude and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The water is ideal for swimming, but be mindful as the depth increases quickly.
