Overview

The beach is located south of the village of Vasiliki. Access is by road from a 6 km long dirt road that starts from the port of Lentas or from a 9 km long dirt road with many bends and narrow passages that starts from Vasiliki. Fortunately, the unique beauty of the Cretan landscape rewards those who visit it. The beach got its name from the many caves in the gorge. The beach is long with small pebbles, turquoise waters and a few tamarisks for shade.
