  • Nice Clean beach. It has the blue Badge award, so you know its safe with a life guard normally on duty 9 - 5. We did think that the price of 10 Euros a day for 2 beds and a brolly was expensive, and....  more

  • A beautiful sandy beach with clear water. Clean, tidy, and very quiet. Not many kids! Only downside is the sun beds could be a little more comfy.

  • I like this place, although there’s not a long sand beach. However the water is so cool and clean! You can rent two sunbeds and 1 umbrella with 7€. Or just use yiur own towels! Enjoy!
  • Great place for a beach day. Extremely clean, good toilets, life guard & first aid, and a very good snackbar with fresh food (gyros!) and drinks. Two sunbeds, a side table, and umbrella for 10€ a day in June. The sea has a marked area with no rocks, calm water, and a long shallow entry. The rest is a bit more wild and rocky. Lots of locals and families. Parking is free and plentiful.
  • Loved it here. The water is shallow and there's mostly sand. We came here at around 3 p.m. and there weren't many people, mostly locals. Would recommend climbing the rocks to the east for a great photo spot.
  • One of the beaches that we stopped on while beach hopping through Heronissos and Malia. A beautiful beach that was much quieter than the beaches in central Heronissos and Malia. Beautiful sand and clear water with a couple of rockier areas.
  • Nice free beach, the sand is soft but there are rocks in the seaside. There is a lifeguard and, I suppose, sun umbrellas in the summer season. In end October the weather is like in spring, so fresh but nice. It’s possible to have baths but you have to be a warmly people.
