Kolokithia Beach, Elounda

We just loved this beach - the water was extremely clear, warm and it’s very private - once the boat trips arrive it can get a bit busy but they usually leave within an hour. Really nice place for snorkeling and for swimming. Also the trekking around to get to the beach and around the peninsula is beautiful 🌸

Such a beautiful beach! The road getting there is absolutely terrible though, if you’re driving. It’s only big enough for one vehicle so you’re screwed if another car is coming your way. Anyways, the trail isn’t long… maybe 10 mins, but I’d still bring sneakers since you need to walk back up. Make sure you bring your own towel, food, drinks, whatever bc there is nothing down there. I believe you can get to this area on a boat tour so you can look it up. The ocean was calm, shallow and extremely clear. The sand was ver clean and soft. There isn’t much room to actually lay out to tan, and there is a lot of bees. Definitely bring some snorkeling gear.

A beach as beauty as small… you can reach it with a car and then ten minute walking. The sand is white, the water is marvellous but the beach is very small and so it’s very likely it is crowded. No sun umbrellas neither pub or tavernas so you’ll need to have a packed lunch. In late October you can have a bath since the water is quite warm.

It was a bit of a hike to get here, but this places is just beautiful. Eventhough it's not a proper beach, yo can still go swim in the clear waters. The places is also a good place for a hike and to explore. Make sure to get here eary to avoid the crowds.

Tiny beautiful beach. Soft white sand, there are big stones in the water. Wild beach with some ruins nearby. Calm and crystal clear water. Very close to the bigger beach which I liked better but this one provides more intimacy.
