Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Vyzaroplaka beach (Crete island) 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 Vyzaroplaka 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. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Vyzaroplaka 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.

Located in the southern part of Heraklion prefecture, this beach is situated in a remote area, far away from civilization. Despite the challenging road conditions, it is still accessible by a regular car. Although not visible from the road, this beach provides a serene and secluded atmosphere, even during the busy summer season. This untouched beach is devoid of any human interference, offering a pristine environment. The sea is crystal clear with a tranquil and calm demeanor. Towards the west, there is a rocky slab, which gives the beach its name, and it is covered in sea urchins, making it quite slippery. Therefore, caution is necessary while navigating this area. Apart from the rocky slab, the rest of the beach is obstacle-free, except for the rocky seabed. The coastline is composed of coarse pebbles, making it challenging to walk on. It is highly recommended to take a swim towards the cave located to the west of the coast. Additionally, on the beach, there is a small rock roof that provides natural shade.

The beach is quite pleasant as long as there isn't too much wind, and it has pebbles that make it easy to walk down. It can only be reached by a four-wheel drive vehicle.

This beach is absolutely stunning and secluded. The terrain is rocky, so it's advisable to wear appropriate footwear. Accessing the beach can be challenging due to a narrow dirt road with significant changes in elevation. It might be quite difficult for small cars to navigate. However, despite the obstacles, this place is definitely worth a visit.

The cove is absolutely stunning, although it can be a bit challenging to get to. The road is unpaved, winding, and narrow if you're driving. If you choose to walk, be prepared for a demanding trek (remember to bring plenty of water and wear appropriate shoes). However, the effort is definitely worth it.
