This Crete Beaches page is from the Completely Crete website.

Crete is the largest island in Greece, and it’s no surprise that Crete beaches offer a huge choice for every taste. With our help, it will be easy to find your perfect beach.

Family friendly beaches by the bucketful and all amenities with neat rows of sun loungers with parasols for hire are firm favourites for some. Others enjoy watersports, scuba diving, snorkelling or the windsurfing facilities offered by many beach resorts.



The young and lively perhaps prefer the beaches to ‘pose’ on. Somewhere to show off their bikini bodies and perfect tan, ready for the nightclub scene or beach BBQ party.

But no matter which beach experience you are looking for, all the Cretan beaches have one thing in common - crystalline waters in the palest shades of turquoise, fading into the deepest of blue. The Aegean, Mediterranean, Ionian and Libyan Seas all surround the shores of this ancient island.
