Kedrodasos Beach, Kissamos

Located just below Elafonisi Beach, Kedrodasos is a hidden paradise in the region. This wonderful beach covered with juniper trees is completely isolated from the environment. There are no facilities or businesses. There is a path from Elafonisi to Kedrodasos that does not appear as a walking path on Google Maps. We reached the beach by walking in less than an hour via this road, which we learned by asking the people around. Kedrodasos, which we went to early in the morning, was quite calm and beautiful. While we were there, people started to come out of the tents set up in the juniper trees just behind the beach. Considering the people who came with their vehicles, it was obvious that the beach would be quite crowded in the following hours. After enjoying our morning, we went back the way we came. On the way back, it was also enjoyable to see mountain goats descending to the beach.

A small corner of paradise, on the beach there are many trees ideal for a corner of shade. Unfortunately there are many campers and tents but generally there are not too many people like in the nearby Elafonissi. The road is paved up to a good point, it is recommended to leave the car at the beginning of the road thus avoiding ruining the car. Through a path you reach the beach in 5-8 minutes. Sea of a beautiful color and not too cold water

One of the best beaches of Crete, far better than Elafonisi. It’s secluded, surrounded by beautiful trees and vegetation, the water has like 6 different shades of blue and you can actually see fishes swimming around the rocks. The sea is tranquil and fresh, the strips of sand are wide enough to host everybody and people here are respectful of nature and of others. There are no services whatsoever so go to the WC before coming and bring something to snack and drink. And from the parking lot is a way down a Little Rock path, so have comfortable shoes on. We stayed all afternoon and we loved it so much we are going again tomorrow morning.

Easily the best beach on Crete. It's no less spectacular than Balos beach but a lot easier to get to. The blues of the water make you stare for hours and you just cannot take your eyes off of it. It's so beautiful it's painful. The beach is almost like a Caribbean one with stunning white sand. Almost zero plastic waste. The shade in the cedar trees is such a great treat. Been to many beautiful beaches but this one is really the top one. Climbing up and down to the beach is not that hard actually but it possible avoid flip-flops.

Teriffic beach. You have to walk by feet for about 10 minutes in a path. No need to have umbrellas. You'll can relax under the shodow of a tree. Please, don't leave your litters on the beach or under the trees. To go or to come to/from Palaiochora, you can chose the road trip via Sklavopoula. It's shorter with no traffic. Some parts are under construction, but in very good condition. Very good 4G VODAFON signal.
