BEACHES

The crystal-clear waters of Elounda, combined with the intoxicating scent of the Aegean and the unrivaled beauty of nature, offer the ultimate summer experience under the golden sun. Your first stop for a swim could be Elounda Beach, as well as Chiona Beach — a small but stunning shore located very close to Elounda’s salt pans.

If you are looking for something a little more special for your morning or afternoon swim, the beaches of Tsifliki and Dreros are ideal choices. Tsifliki Beach is made up of many small coves, lined with tamarisk trees, while offering a breathtaking view of the famous island of Spinalonga. Families with children will love Dreros Beach for its calm, crystal-clear waters. It is also an organized beach, so you will find all necessary facilities available.

Another beach not to be missed is Kolokytha Beach. This stunning spot feels like a true exotic paradise! Its deep blue waters reveal a pristine seabed, and combined with the soft white sand, create a truly unforgettable experience. Other beaches worth visiting include Plaka Beach and Agia Marina Beach.
