Overview

Kastri Beach lies right in front of the small fishing village of Kastri, which merges with Keratokampos, creating a quiet and welcoming seaside destination on Crete’s south coast. The beach is a mix of sand and fine pebbles, with calm, crystal-clear waters and a relaxed, low-key vibe.It’s partially organized, with a few sunbeds and umbrellas available, mostly in front of local tavernas and small guesthouses. \n\rThe beach is easily accessible and ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for a peaceful place to swim, sunbathe, or enjoy traditional Cretan food by the sea.The small harbor and boats add to the charm, while the lack of heavy tourism keeps the atmosphere authentic and serene.
