I was nothing short of amazed by this beach I stumbled across whilst staying in the nearby beach of Hersonissos. After our first night in Hersonissos I noticed the beaches were quite rocky and not very big at all. After a quick google search of local beaches I found this and it didn’t disappoint. Golden sand, perfect clear water for as far as you could see and many activities for children and adults to do if they so wish. €3.50 a sunbed with an umbrella all day was a lot cheaper than I anticipated and the nearby bakeries and shops made it a cheap day all in all by the time we’d got food and drinks for the day. A taxi rank was right near the beach aswell so made commuting back to our hotel easy aswell. Would definitely come back here and am planning to do so in the future.

Great entertainment , one of the best is the disco dj night, yesterday was an unbelievable party, best night by far, as long as we stayed. You can see happy people dancing around, such a nice feeling. Great dj knows how to make the people dancing. Amazing beach front hotel, nice lounge areas.

Its a great beach, very long and good to walk at the edge of the sea. Plenty of sunbeds and shades, vary in price most are around 8 euros for 2 beds and a shade, some are free at the end towards Malia. The sea can be a bit rough when it's windy, but fun to play in the waves - beware of the lifeguard flags as the red goes up when the waves are strong. Lovely and warm due to the shallow shore, you can walk out quite a way. Some interesting rocks, but be careful, they're very sharp! Good sand for the little ones, plenty of sand castle time.

Great sandy beach. Several life guards. You have to walk quite a long way in before water gets deep. Lots of sun loungers and plenty of taverna's. Great safe beach

Honestly I am not delighted not only with the beach, but also with Crete. I imagined a more comfortable holiday, at least like in Chalkidiki, where we were taken by transfer to the beach club, here we had to walk almost 2 kilometers to the beach and, accordingly, the same distance back, only because there was an unequipped rocky beach closer to the hotel. This 5 km long beach was completely sandy and equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, but that was where its advantages ended. If in Halkidiki it was enough for us to buy 2 drinks and for the same money we were provided with all types of sunbeds for every taste and an umbrella, then here we pay separately for sunbeds, and drinks separately. We “landed” on the first section of the beach we came across, but I don’t think it would have been better anywhere, maybe the equipment would have looked a little more attractive, but it would have also cost more. The first drawback of the beach is the huge waves. I had the impression that we were somewhere in Tenerife, on the ocean, the sea was so restless every day, only one day out of all there was a calm sea, when I took the photo, all the other days the wave washed over from head to toe, swimming you can’t name it, it’s dangerous that you can choke on sea waterand not really take a dip or swim, a constant struggle with the waves. The second drawback was the constant wind, which blew away the beach towels, which had to be weighed down with stones so that they did not fly away. Those who spent more time here bought special huge clothespins for towels. The third and very important drawback is that on the beach there is no semblance of a shower or a device to wash your feet from the sand, which usually belongs to the normal European service. In addition, the sun was burning, everyone was “sunbathing”, mostly under umbrellas, fortunately they were made of translucent mesh, I almost didn’t get tanned. The composition of sea water also leaves much to be desired; the water with these “breaking” waves is so saturated with minerals that it is not easy for an allergy sufferer to tolerate it. The positive aspects include the fact that the owner of our section of the beach, a rather kind person, took good care of the equipment, everything worked, he also removed the garbage with a special device, it was clean and, if desired, you could order food and drink, some of People which lay under the whole day with umbrellas,they ordered food , he brought it, put the food on the table under the umbrella, the food looked nice. I tried to get Frappe coffee from him, like in Halkidiki, he brought it, I didn’t like it, the cup was small, not a glass for Long Drinks, like in Halkidiki, and no one gives you a bottle of water, like there. My conclusion is this: despite the obvious efforts on the part of the owner of the beach, I would hardly come back again; for me, such a vacation is a too extreme.
