Koumbes beach is one of the central coastal destinations of Rethymno city, located on the western side of the urban fabric.

Geographically, it stretches along the coastline facing the Cretan Sea, offering direct access to the city's residents and visitors.

The landscape is characterized by a sandy shore surrounded by Rethymno's urban environment. The beach offers panoramic views of the Cretan Sea, and its proximity to the center makes it a popular choice for those seeking a quick swim without leaving the city.
