Lakkes Beach

Lakkes Beach, also known as Lakki or Laki, is a tranquil coastal area located approximately 2 km east of Frangokastello, near the village of Skaloti, on the southern coast of Crete. This serene destination comprises a series of small sandy coves separated by rocky outcrops, offering a peaceful retreat away from the more frequented tourist spots. The beach is characterized by its fine sand and crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for swimming and relaxation. The presence of tamarisk trees provides natural shade, and some coves are equipped with umbrellas. The area is slightly organized, with a few accommodations and tavernas nearby, catering to visitors seeking a quiet holiday experience. Access to Lakkes Beach is primarily by car from Skaloti, and its proximity to Frangokastello allows for easy exploration of the surrounding region.
