Vathi Beach: Absolute Tranquillity Overlooking the Big Blue

It is a hidden gem in South Crete, boasting turquoise waters that captivate all who visit.

Vathi Beach is the perfect destination for those seeking to listen to the soothing waves and unwind.

It is located near the village of Siva in Messara, near Cape Lithino and in close proximity to the Odigitria Monastery. The beach is situated at the terminus of a narrow gorge through which the Vathy stream flows, flanked by tall rocks that obscure direct views of the open sea, creating the impression of a secluded lagoon. According to local accounts, this natural hideaway was once a refuge for pirates.

Situated far from the noise of cities, reaching the beach requires traversing an admittedly rugged road.
