Agios Pavlos Beach is one of the most evocative and isolated coastal destinations in southern Crete, in the wider Sfakia region.

Geographically, it is located between Agia Roumeli and Loutro, situated below the Seloukanos forest and the Kormokopos forest.

The landscape is characterized by a rare and wild beauty, with the shore featuring pristine, deep waters and dark sand with fine pebbles. The landmark of the beach is the Byzantine church of Agios Pavlos, built on the sand since the 10th century, which lends the site a unique spiritual and historical atmosphere. The area is surrounded by the imposing scenery of the White Mountains ending at the sea, offering absolute serenity and a sense of disconnection from the modern world.

Access to the beach is demanding, as it is possible either via the coastal path connecting Agia Roumeli with Loutro, or by sea via boat. Regarding organization, Agios Pavlos remains a completely unorganized beach, preserving its virgin character without any human intervention or permanent infrastructure. It administratively belongs to the Chania Prefecture and is a destination for travelers seeking the authentic experience of the Cretan south in a landscape of unparalleled natural beauty.
