Beach holiday in Crete

Crete has one of the longest coastlines and is the perfect place for an unforgettable beach holiday. The island combines breathtaking beaches, crystal clear water and impressive natural scenery. Whether you want to relax in the quiet bays of Elafonissi or marvel at the imposing cliffs of the Balos Lagoon - Crete has something for everyone. The variety of beaches ranges from fine sand to dramatic cliffs, so you are guaranteed to find your personal favorite spot. With a little attention, you will also find a designated nudist beach or an area designated for your own dog beach.

Undisturbed relaxation

Crete, with its many kilometers of diverse coastline, offers endless opportunities to find and enjoy undisturbed beaches. Due to the history of Crete, these beaches are often in small, romantic bays, curved or hidden behind large mountains. But they all have one thing in common: the wonderfully blue and clean sea.

Tips

We recommend wearing beach shoes on the beaches in Crete. Firstly, the sand heats up very quickly in the warm sun, and secondly, the sand is not as fine-grained as on German coasts. Please check before you start your journey whether the beach is suitable for your (presumably) rental car and whether the car rental company's terms and conditions do not prohibit you from going to these areas.
