Overview

Kaminaki Beach has clear, calm waters and rocky seabed, making it an excellent spot for swimming and snorkeling. It remains undeveloped, with no sunbeds, umbrellas, or commercial facilities, ensuring a quiet and unspoiled coastal experience. Beachgoers must bring their own supplies, as the remote location limits access to amenities.\n Kaminaki Beach is located 58 kilometers (36 miles) south of Heraklion, along the remote southeastern slopes of the Asterousia Mountains. The beach lies at the exit of Pervoliano Gorge, where steep cliffs and rugged terrain create a naturally secluded setting.
