I had an amazing experience at this idyllic beach. My visit was in early September, and although the area was bustling with tourists, I was able to find a vacant sunbed. I highly recommend renting a sunbed to avoid the sand, as the beach is home to a number of feline residents. If you rent from a nearby coffee shop, be aware that outside food and drinks are not permitted, but the prices are reasonable. I spent around 20-25€ on the beach, which included my sunbed rental, a delicious lunch, a snack, and a couple of non-alcoholic beverages. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I was pleased to find that I could bring my own coffee in a thermos without any issue. If I ever return to Chania, this beach will undoubtedly be my first choice.
