Tenda Beach

Tenda Beach, located 29 km east of Sitia in Crete, is known for its unique features and two distinct bays. The western Tenda Bay is popular with windsurfers due to its exposure to the Meltemi winds and waves. The eastern Eligas Bay, in contrast, offers calm, clear waters ideal for swimming. The area is also a favorite spot for anglers because of its rich rocky seabed. Tenda Beach provides a peaceful retreat, with a mix of dynamic and tranquil conditions depending on which bay you visit.
