The closest sandy beach to the villa is located in the Missiria area, just 2 km away. Additionally, the expansive, organized Rethymno Beach, with its golden sands and crystal-clear waters, is only 3 km from the villa. This beach offers a variety of amenities, including beach bars, restaurants, cafes, sunbeds with umbrellas, showers, and changing rooms. Water sports facilities are also available, catering to those seeking adventure. A scenic boardwalk runs along the beach, perfect for leisurely afternoon walks by the sea, or for enjoying shopping and dining options nearby.

Beyond Rethymno Beach, there are several more excellent beach options to explore:

Episkopi Beach: Known for its pristine, crystal-clear waters, Episkopi is regarded as one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches on the North Coast. Even during the busy summer months, you can easily find a quiet, secluded spot or choose a well-organized area with sunbeds and parasols. The beach is lined with lively taverns and beach bars, popular with locals, especially on weekends.

Georgioupoli Beach: This beach offers soft sand and shallow, clean waters, and is fully equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas, and a lifeguard. Surrounding tavernas add to the beach’s charm. One of the area’s highlights is Kournas Lake, located nearby, with fresh water springs bubbling up along the beach. For a unique experience, take a walk along the Perastikos River, which divides the beach into two sections. At the point where the river meets the sea, cool, refreshing waters and unique vegetation await. Be cautious of sea currents and waves on windy days.

Panormo Village Beaches: Panormo offers three distinct beaches, each with its own character. The small beach in front of the village’s harbor is sandy and ideal for children, thanks to its shallow, wind-protected waters. The second beach, the main beach, is also sandy, offering plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas with shelter from the wind. The third beach, located to the east, is a secluded pebbled cove—perfect for those seeking peace and quiet or a spot for snorkeling.

For those seeking natural beauty and unspoiled beaches, the South Coast of Crete offers some of the island’s most stunning locations. About 40-50 minutes by car from the villa, you'll find Schinaria, Damnoni, Triopetra, Agios Pavlos, and Preveli—all pristine, natural beaches located near the village of Plakias. The area also offers local shops and tavernas, adding to the charm of this peaceful coastal retreat.
