Episkopi Beach is a long, sandy beach located between Gerani and Rethymno on the northern coast of Crete. Stretching for several kilometers, it offers plenty of space, making it perfect for peaceful sunbathing, swimming, and long seaside walks. The sand is soft and golden, while the sea is shallow and typically calm, ideal for families with children.
Certain areas of the beach are organized, with umbrellas, sunbeds, and beach bars, while others remain wild and untouched. The beach is also known for its stunning sunsets, attracting visitors who want to relax and enjoy the view. A cooling breeze often blows, which is great for hot summer days and attracts windsurfers.
Nearby, there are small tavernas, rooms to rent, and even campgrounds. The easy access by road makes it a convenient stop for travelers. Episkopi Beach combines natural beauty with just enough comfort to satisfy different kinds of beachgoers.
