Overview

Likos Beach is a secluded coastal area located west of Loutro, near the mouth of the Aradena Gorge in southwestern Crete. Accessible by foot or boat, this beach is characterized by its rocky formations, small pebbles, and clear turquoise waters. The surrounding cliffs and caves provide natural shade, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and snorkeling. Due to its remote location and lack of amenities, Likos Beach remains uncrowded, offering visitors a peaceful and natural environment. It's a perfect destination for those seeking tranquility away from the more frequented tourist spots.
