This beach is accessible from the road connecting Rethymno to Agia Galini ; it can be considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the south coast of Crete ; the name comes from the three majestic rocks which divide the bay into two beaches ; in fact ,the word triopetra means presumably “the three stones”; the smallest is called the small Triopetra or Koumado and is ideal for those who wish to be more secluded or quiet ; the larger beach is also called Chatsi or Triopetra ; the beaches are at the foot of a hill of olive trees ; the place is also ideal for watersports experts as the sandbanks created by the currents make the seabed unpredictable ; for those who stay longer until the evening , it is a wonderful occasion of admiring the breathtaking sunset ;

Good sand, protected from most winds, smaller waves, beautiful sea bottom with plenty of fish, sundbeds 6 EUR, toilets in two beach tavernas, parking is a bit challenging if you come late, 15 mins drive from Plakias in a scenic road. After years of visits, this remains among my favourite beaches in Crete (visited over 50 beaches). You can eat in the local tavern but don't except much quality in food or service.
