3. Erimoupolis Beach
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 121 reviews
The Erimoupoli beach located 26km east of Sitia , just north of the famous palm forest of Vai . The name takes the ancient city of Itanos , which remains in the area. Next to the archaeological site of Itanos are the three consecutive bays with equal number of Erimoupolis beaches.

we don't know Paradise but we have been at Erimoupolis and we think that could be better. The two beaches are so clean and water is wonderful, in the smaller one the sand is soft and the near ruins are very interesting, If you go to Vai I suggest to spend some other time in Erimoupolis that is very close to the famous Palm Beach.

From the settlement Chochlakies , located 8 km south of Palekastro and 26 km from Sitia , begins a fantastic , affordable canyon that after 1.5 hour walk ends at the clean and picturesque bay Karoumes . You can reach the most isolated beach in eastern Crete through the gorge or boat from Kato Zakros and Kouremenos .
5. Paralia Chionas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 43 reviews
The Chiona is a beautiful, medium-sized beach. Is green and cool waters. It is shallow and suitable for children. From here not leave without combine your swim with one stop in the surrounding taverns. The fish soup with fresh fish specialties is certainly not compared with any other.

The beach is quiet without beach bars and noisy people. You better have a beach umbrella otherwise you can relax under the small trees.

Very nice beach located close to the center of Sitia. Sunbeds and umbrellas are free of charge. They are offered by the bars and restaurants located behind the beach area. It is expected that you buy your drinks and food from the bar/restaurant during your stay on the beach. There are also areas on the beach with no sunbeds and umbrellas.
