"Kalypso Beach Crete is one of the best beaches in Crete and one of the most unusual. It is located in its own secret bay, a short drive from the beach village of Plakias in Crete.

⭐️ It is not necessary to be a guest of the Kalypso Hotel to visit the beach - just pay for the use of umbrellas and sunbeds
⭐️ The beach is in Pirate's Fjord, a narrow bay with a low narrow peninsula on one side and an impressively high cliff on the other
⭐️ This is one of Rethymno's most dramatic beaches
⭐️ It is one of the best places for swimming and snorkeling in Crete with exceptionally clear water. Take your snorkeling equipment with you
⭐️ Don't go to Hotel Kalypso expecting sand, because there isn't any - you come here for the water and the spectacular setting
⭐️ After visiting the beach, take time and climb up the stairs you will see on the side of the mountain "
