The west coast of Crete is home to some of the most breathtaking and world-renowned beaches in Crete, many of which are just a short drive from the villa.
Loutraki Beach (4 km) – A serene, waveless beach with fine sand nestled between rocky shores. Loutraki is perfect for a relaxing swim, with nearby restaurants and beach bars offering refreshments by the sea.
Marathi Beach (5 km) – This charming destination features two sandy, well-organized beaches separated by a small harbor pier. A major advantage of Marathi Beach is its sheltered location, meaning calm waters even on windy days. It's an excellent choice for families with children, and you’ll find a variety of seaside tavernas and cafés.
Kalathas Beach (10 km) – A long, golden-sand beach where you can always find space to unwind. If you’re looking for a quieter spot, explore the edges of the beach. However, be mindful that Kalathas can be affected by strong winds.
Seitan Limania Beach (13.7 km) – Unlike any other beach in the area, Seitan Limania boasts a dramatic landscape where nature has carved three striking inlets between steep cliffs. The well-hidden, unorganized beach is a true hidden gem, but reaching it requires a short but steep hike from the parking area—something to consider if traveling with children or elderly guests.
