Skinias Beach is located in northeastern Crete, in the Lasithi region, east of Sitia and near the wider area of Palekastro.

It is a remote coastal zone rather than a single defined beach, consisting of a series of small coves that maintain a distinctly natural and unspoiled character.

The morphology of the coastline varies, with sections that alternate between pebbles and sand, while the waters are clear and generally deep. The surrounding landscape is open and rugged, with sparse vegetation and rocky formations typical of eastern Crete. The area is exposed to winds, which often influence sea conditions.

The beach is not organized and has no facilities. Access is via a dirt road followed by a short hike, which limits visitor numbers and helps preserve the area’s tranquility.

Skinias is not a typical tourist destination, but rather a place for those seeking isolation and a closer connection to nature. Its raw beauty and sense of openness make it one of the most peaceful coastal spots in eastern Crete.
