The southernmost beach on Crete is one of the most geographically unique and remote spots on the island.

It is located at the southwestern tip of the Asterousia Mountains, right on the imposing Cape Lithino, which marks the southernmost point of central Crete.

Geographically, the beach is situated west of Kounenoi and Martsalos, while to its north lies the rugged area of Kefali. The landscape is stark and wild, with steep cliffs plunging into the Libyan Sea, providing a unique sense of isolation at the edge of the world.

Access to this specific beach is extremely difficult. There is no road network reaching near the shore, as the dirt roads in the area end much higher up the mountain. The only ways to visit are either via a long and demanding hike from the Odigitria Monastery or by boat, weather permitting, as Cape Lithino is known for its strong winds and currents.

Regarding organization, the beach is completely pristine and unorganized. Due to its inaccessible location, visitors are rare, making it one of the last refuges for those seeking absolute tranquility and contact with the unexplored Cretan landscape. The waters are deep and crystal clear, offering a breathtaking swimming experience at the southernmost border of Europe.
