Analipsi Beach

Beautiful beach with crystal waters and soft sands, selection of rock pools where you can see the fish! Little works of arts along the coast. Full of hotel resorts and hire car companies! You can also find excursion huts!

Loved how calm this beach was. We were there May 2025, was great serting the little fishes and sea snails.

Most people claim the sunset of Ia in Santorini is the best Greek sunset. Although I admit Ia's sunset is indeed beautiful, I have to say that the sunset in the beach of Analipsi in Chersonissos in Crete is far superior! The colors of the sun as it fades into the sea are mesmerizing, to say the least. The beach is nice, mostly for a walk or sunbathing, as the waters are not bad, but by no means crystal. It's sunset is perfect though and the cafes and restaurants enhance the sunset experience.

We’ve heard this is one of the top ten beaches in Crete Due to its natural rock formations Totally not swimmable Unless you’re up for getting hurt (or maybe it’s a slightly stormy day) There’re fancy lounges and beds(?) here Around 6€ for two lounges and one umbrella I’ve found some super pretty stones here

Great beach, especially in the evening!

Nice sandy beach. We had first seen it during our hotel transfer and decided to visit. Easily accessible with lots of parking spaces. The only drawback is that the first few meters of sea bottom are rocky, making the entrance and exit a bit more complicated.

A wide sandy beach, with great waves. There is a volleyball spot. There are public toilets and showers free of charge. Close to the location there are 2 restaurants (one in the left and one in the right side of the beach). There is also a cantine that opens late and has drinks.

Very windy on mid June. So I would recommend to comeback when it's not 30 km/h :)
