Peaceful and relaxing

Sep 2017 • Couples

Well worth going to this small beach!!! It was fantastic with not a lot of people. Has a small cave which starts from the left end of the beach and heads out to the sea...amazing!!! Not a lot of shade around so take your own ombrela

perfect, quiet beach

Sep 2016 • Couples

The guidebook said drive along the coast road and where you see cars parked look for a beach. That;s what we did. You have to walk down a slope of loose stones, which is not ideal for elderly but otherwise ok. Once there it was our favourite beach in Crete so far. Soft sand, hardly anyone there - a couple of times we had the beach to ourselves! If you have a car it is worth the short drive of a few kilometres to go there and relax in peace or bath in the crystal clear, sun-warmed waters.
Perfect.

Fantastic location

Aug 2018 • Friends

Great location with rock beach, cave and great snorkelling opportunities. Some parking, access via steep steps, no facilities (but a good tavern next to the entrance). Spent a really great day here with friends. There is a warning about falling rocks in the Cave area, so this is probably not a place to bring children.

Fantastic beach! With magnificent waters... easy road... unorganized... it has a large cave that if you get there has shade, as well as a small stone.

Staousa beach, southern Crete

Aug 2023 • Couples

Great beach. Possibility of natural shade on the rock. Nice waters not so many people. Unorganized, it is understood that this is in the pluses.
