Richti Beach is one of the most iconic and distinct natural destinations in eastern Crete, located between Agios Nikolaos and Sitia.

Geographically, it is situated at the exit of the eponymous gorge, offering a rare experience that combines mountain nature with the marine environment.

The landscape is characterized by the wild and pristine beauty of the Cretan north. The beach is primarily pebbly and surrounded by imposing mountain masses, where the stream crossing the Richti Gorge ends, creating a lush green oasis that reaches the sea. Absolute tranquility prevails in the area, as the shore maintains its authentic character, far from mass tourist development.

Access to Richti Beach can be achieved in two ways: either via the hiking trail through the gorge, an experience that includes viewing the impressive waterfall—or via a winding road descending from the Exo Mouliana area. Due to its unique location and the natural wealth surrounding it, the beach is a magnet for nature lovers and explorers seeking the raw side of the Cretan coastline.
