Overview

Tsoutsouros Beach is the central beach of the coastal village Tsoutsouros, located on the southern coast of Crete, west of Keratokampos. It is a long, sandy beach with some pebbly sections, offering calm, clean waters and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere. Well-protected from strong winds, it's a great choice for swimming and sunbathing, especially for families and visitors seeking a quieter experience away from the more touristy beaches.\n\rThe beach is partly organized, with sunbeds, umbrellas, and beachfront tavernas serving fresh seafood and Cretan specialties. The village of Tsoutsouros retains a traditional charm and is believed to be built on the site of the ancient city Inatos, adding historical interest to the visit. Nearby, you’ll find small fishing boats, caves, and walking paths along the rocky coastline.
