The closest ones are Small Fotinari and Big Fotinari which are unorganised sea coves. The nearest organized beach is Souda Beach.

Due to the location of the villa, you have the advantage of being on the south coast of Crete where you can find some of the most amazing natural beaches in the whole of Greece.  Plakias, Damnoni, Schinaria, Triopetra, and Preveli beaches are alternate nearby beaches that we suggest visiting.   All the above beaches are organized but there are sections on those beaches where you could go to be away of the crowd.

From the working harbor of Plakias, there are several boat trips to other beaches and villages along the south coast.  Also, there is a watersports center in Damnoni Beach.  

- Damnoni beach (2,6 km): Here you will find all the services of a well-organized beach such as umbrellas, snack bars, showers, changing rooms, water sports, scuba diving center, great hotels, restaurants, one horse riding center, etc. The west end of the beach, the most organized part, has a small river with water almost all year round. The east end of the beach is quieter and is linked with the adjacent beaches of Ammoudakii via a short dirt road. Moreover, beyond the west end of the beach there are several small coves with sand and rocks, where you can get isolated. These are located just next to the small harbor of the area.

- Preveli beach (10 km): The beach of Preveli, also known as Lake Preveli or Phoenix, is located at the exit of the imposing Kourtaliotikos Gorge, where the Grand River (Megalos Potamos) flows. It is certainly the most famous beach in south Crete. The river, forming a small lake, 500m long, before emptying into the sea, has water all year round. You can walk along the river, under the shade of palm trees and other trees, and start ascending in the beautiful canyon.
