Beaches
In Crete, you'll find some of the most stunning beaches for your summer vacation. Crystal-clear waters sparkling under the golden sun, set in spots of pristine, natural beauty. Summer just as you've dreamed it!
Elafonisi
Elafonisi is perhaps the most magical beach in Crete, attracting crowds every summer who come to enjoy its beauty. Its deep blue waters, combined with white sand, create a paradisiacal setting. A large part of the beach is so shallow that the water reaches up to your knees, resembling an exotic destination. The various coves along the coast enhance the beauty of this unique beach in the best possible way.
Balos
Another beach that will fill you with unforgettable memories, Balos is renowned for its beauty. The lagoon of Balos features waters with hues that will enchant you from the very first moment. In some areas, the water is completely transparent, in others it is blue-green, and in some places it is turquoise. Besides their stunning appearance, the waters are shallow and warm, making your swim at Balos one of the highlights of your vacation. The shore is covered with fine, white sand, and the view of the vast blue is simply unique.
Falassarna
Although Falassarna is located 59 km from Chania, it is worth dedicating a day to swim in its waters. This is another popular beach on the island, known for its vast expanse and endless beauty. Beautiful blue-green waters and light, fine sand will provide you with moments of peace and relaxation. The beach offers sunbeds and a few refreshment stands, so you can comfortably stay until the afternoon to enjoy the sunset.
Seitan Limania
Seitan Limania beach was once a hidden spot, enjoyed only by locals. In recent years, however, its reputation has grown so much that it has become one of the island’s top beaches. It is a very narrow channel with stunning waters, nestled between towering, imposing cliffs. The pristine, natural landscape around the shore gives it an otherworldly and magical feel, creating a unique atmosphere. Its name means “Cursed Ports” in Turkish, referring to the dangerous waves that occur when strong winds blow.
Kedrodasos
Kedrodasos is an incredible destination for swimming, combining beautiful, deep blue waters with a vast stretch of smooth rocks. You'll also encounter numerous junipers and sand dunes, which give the area a distinctly tropical feel. This secluded and tranquil beach has no sunbeds or kiosks, making it perfect for enjoying a swim away from the crowds.
