This is a beautiful beach with crystal clear aqua water, I cant deny. BUT too many people, not enough shade, not even a shady bar to sit at to avoid the midday sun. We went on a coach trip from Chania so were tied to...More

It's a nice beach with the crushed shells making the water greenish... Nevertheless we stayed in Rethymnon and made the 130 km trip to this beach by car and it was not quite worth the effort. If you live nearby, sure congrats... Otherwise if you...More

Extraordinary beach with clear, warm light turquise,shallow water and rose white sand. Easy accesible by car, only short part of road is macadam with sarp stones. It can compete with best ionian beaches such as Myrthos Kefalonia, Porto Katziki and Egremni Lefkada or Navajo Zakintos....More
