Atherina Beach is a small, hidden paradise located on the southeastern coast of Lasithi, between the settlement of Goudouras and the Kapsa Monastery.

It is a beautiful, narrow cove that carves deep into the land, creating a natural harbor with calm, crystal-clear waters.

The main feature of Atherina is its protection from the winds, as the high cliffs surrounding the beach keep the sea almost always still. The waters boast a stunning turquoise color, and the shore consists of fine sand and pebbles. Due to the seabed formation and water clarity, the beach is perfect for snorkeling, as the rocky sides of the bay host vibrant marine life.

The beach is completely unorganized, preserving its pristine and quiet atmosphere, far from mass tourism. Access is relatively easy via the Ierapetra - Goudouras coastal road, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a quick and refreshing escape in a landscape that blends wild Cretan beauty with absolute tranquility.
