Red Beach Escape – Crete’s Hidden Gem

Join us for an unforgettable excursion to one of Crete’s hidden gems — Red Beach!
Located near the charming village of Matala, Red Beach is famous for its stunning red sand, known in Greek as “Kokkini Ammos,” meaning “Red Sand.” This unique spot is ideal for nature lovers seeking tranquility and beauty.

Please note: the beach is not accessible by car. Our tour bus will take you to Matala, where a guide will accompany you on a short walk along a rocky trail. This mini hike adds to the adventure, making your arrival even more rewarding.

Upon reaching the beach, you’ll witness an incredible contrast between the deep red sand and the vivid blue sea — a perfect setting for photos and relaxation. The red hue of the sand comes from natural iron oxide, creating breathtaking scenery.

Red Beach is also known for its laid-back, clothing-optional vibe. Whether you choose to sunbathe in a swimsuit or opt for total freedom, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed.
