Botzalaki Beach (also known as Bondalaki) is a small, hidden gem located on the rugged coastline between Goudouras and Livari in southeastern Lasithi.
It is one of the most secluded coves in the area, perfect for those seeking absolute tranquility away from civilization.
The landscape surrounding Botzalaki is imposing, with barren, arid mountains descending into a narrow strip of shore featuring fine pebbles and pristine, deep waters. The beach is completely unorganized and offers a unique sense of privacy, as it is not immediately visible from the main road. It is a haven for snorkeling enthusiasts, thanks to its rocky seabed teeming with marine life and exceptional water clarity.
Located just a short distance east of the settlement of Goudouras and the Kapsa Monastery, it serves as the first "secret" stop before the road continues toward the beaches of Livari and Xerokampos.
