In front of the village of Sougia stretches a wonderful large beach with thick sand and pebbles. Its area is limited to about 1.5 km from east to west. Its waters are crystal clear and it is never full of people.

It starts from the small port of Sougia, at the exit of the gorge of Ancient Lissos and ends at a small bay, hidden among rocks, away from indiscreet looks which is usually preferred by naturists. For those who prefer free camping and shade along the beach there are plenty of tamarisk trees.

In the part of the beach located in front of the village there are umbrellas and showers. Much more organized place so that the visitor in case he wants a snack or a refreshing drink to be served immediately.

Sougia has always been a frienly family destination for Greek and Foreign visitors and as the sea deepens abruptly, young children want to be supervised when swimming or playing on the beach.

The beach of Sougia, a coast longer awarded with “Blue Flag”, has a certified lifeguard, whose tower is visible and in appropriate place and has all the necessary lifesaving equipment.

Whichever place you choose on the beach of Sougia, remember that the water is much colder compared to the northern coast of Crete.

Early in the morning the visitor can enjoy his breakfast in the cafes on the beach and enjoy the wonderful and peaceful East that the sun offers on the beach of Sougia.

Also late in the afternoon the visitor can enjoy his coffee with a dessert, his cocktail with a snack or a traditional meal on the beach of Sougia observing the sun disappearing behind the huge rock of Ancient Lissos.
