Sarakiniko: The Landmark Beach of Gavdos

Sarakiniko Beach is undeniably one of the top two most popular and commercial beaches on Gavdos. What sets it apart is its relatively easy accessibility, being just 1.5 kilometre away from the port of Karave. Visitors have the option to reach it on foot or by bus, making it a convenient and sought-after destination on the island.

The mesmerising combination of cedars, dunes, and shallow waters creates a breath-taking scenery at Sarakiniko Beach. Its most prized feature is the abundance of shade provided by the cedars, making it an ideal spot for free campers who often use it as a base to enjoy the beauty of Gavdos.

In addition to the free camping options, visitors to Sarakiniko Beach can also find accommodation in rooms to let for a more comfortable stay.
