About

A small golden cove between two long rocks near Plakias, nudist friendly.

Klisidi is a little sandy cove between two narrow rocks with turquoise water. No facilities, the rocks give shade. Naturists like it.

There are no facilities, and the cove is popular with naturists. It's a short walk from the road above. Combine it with lunch at Damnoni or Ammoudi, just a few minutes away.

Agios Vasileios is the south coast of Rethymno, a land of gorges, palm trees and beautiful beaches on the Libyan Sea. Plakias and Agia Galini are the main villages, and between them lie Preveli with its palm forest, Damnoni, Triopetra and Agios Pavlos with its sand dunes. Inland, Spili with its lion fountain and the Kourtaliotiko and Kotsifou gorges are worth a stop. The south coast is often calmer when the north wind blows, and the sea is warm well into autumn.

Rethymno sits between the mountains and two seas, and it is the easiest region to combine with the rest of the island. Its old town and Fortezza are among the best preserved on Crete, with Venetian doorways, Ottoman wooden balconies and a long sandy beach right next to the centre. More about Rethymno
