Vlychada Beach (or Vlychadia) is one of the most unexplored and "wild" spots in southeastern Crete, hidden between Goudouras and Xerokampos, Lasithi. It is a small, secluded bay surrounded by tall, steep cliffs, offering a sanctuary of absolute tranquility for those looking to escape the beaten path.

The landscape is imposing and authentic, with the raw beauty of the rocks contrasting perfectly with the serenity of the Libyan Sea.

The shore consists of fine pebbles and stones, while the waters are deep, crystal-clear, and feature a captivating dark blue hue. Due to its geographical position and the surrounding cliffs, the beach provides a unique sense of privacy, making it ideal for those seeking seclusion. Its rich and interesting seabed also makes it an excellent destination for snorkeling, as the water clarity allows for the observation of marine life in all its glory.

Vlychada remains a completely unorganized beach, fully preserving its pristine character. There are no facilities or natural shade, so being well-prepared with necessary supplies is essential for every visitor. Access is via the coastal road connecting Goudouras and Xerokampos, followed by a short path that leads into the heart of this hidden paradise, where nature remains the sole ruler.
