Hiking
The beach is far away from mass tourism, right next to the monastery of the same name. As far as accessibility goes, well, that's OK. There is a cave in which someone obviously spends the night occasionally, dark sand and pebbles and even a small tavern where you can buy cold drinks. Authentic Crete! The arduous journey is not worth it just to go swimming. The combination of visiting the monastery, hiking up the mountains and jumping into the water is wonderful.
