Worth the bumpy drive. Love this stony beach which is quiet. Clear water and stunning mountain back drop. Taverna does great food especially fried courgette balls to die for... My favourite spot in Crete!!

Reviewed By CapeTurning - Iisalmi, Finland

Excellent beach, into which we headed forcedly, as it was so windy at the sandy beach other side of the peninsula that there was sand in the air feeling like needles. But, a really good accident! A very rare beach consisting purely of these around 10cm diameter round stones. At the sea bottom, clear sand. The water so clear, couldn't be any more cristal! The atmosphere here at this European Union Blue Flag beach was something of unique! A must visit!

Nice calm rocky beach The E4 trail to eleafonisi starts here (well marked trail head) it is a 4-5 hour walk bit completely worth it. We spent one day at krios beach, and the next day we walked from krios to eleafonisi.
