Beautiful bay with crystal clear water. If you get there early (9am-10am) you can really enjoy the bay in peace and quiet. From 11am onwards it can get really busy - that's when the ubiquitous jeep safaris arrive. The way to the lower car park with a small kiosk (great, they even serve Greek salad) is no problem at all with a four-wheel drive car. The last kilometer on foot through steep rock faces is easy even for those who are not so sporty. Hopefully the Cretans don't come up with the idea of asphalting the gravel path to the bay - then the tranquility will be over for sure. If you get there early and are lucky you can watch the griffon vultures, which are rather rare in this area and have probably made a trip here from the Asterousia Mountains.

Beautiful beach, pack your bathing suit :) Out of season you can chill here wonderfully.

The path leads without significant difficulty through a dried-out brook bed or on a clearly visible path through huge oleander bushes.
