Beach

Escape the crowds and discover one of eastern Crete's most tranquil spots, Kato Zakros beach. Tucked away in a calm bay, this beautiful pebble shore offers wonderfully clear and serene waters, perfect for a relaxing swim or a bit of snorkeling. After you've had your fill of the sun, you can wander over to one of the charming seaside tavernas for a bite, enjoying the laid-back atmosphere of this remote fishing hamlet. With pebbles, clear calm waters, and a peaceful village atmosphere, it’s a perfect place to unwind after a hike or enjoy slow swims in a truly remote setting.

Eco note 🌿
This beach is part of a sensitive natural and archaeological landscape. Respect the gorge, avoid littering, support local tavernas, and help preserve the quiet balance between nature, history, and village life.
