The long sandy strand leaves room for a walk as well as a stationary beach break. Its closeness to Heraklion lets the shore become part of a day otherwise spent in the city. Visitors who prefer an open horizon and space to move may find it more appealing than the small bays farther west.
What to look for
Sand extends along a long shoreline.
The coast is more open than the coves farther west.
