Its pristine waters, pebbled shore, and the captivating café-taverna nestled on a rock amidst the sea create a truly rare and enchanting ambiance. However, reaching Glyka Nera can be challenging, as prospective visitors have two options: accessing it by sea via boat or embarking on a hike along the E4 European Path, beginning at either the port of Sfakia or Loutro. The hike from Sfakia takes approximately 20 minutes (slightly longer from Loutro), while a boat ride from the port will swiftly transport you to your destination in just 5-7 minutes.

Visitors have the delightful opportunity to savour their coffee or indulge in delicious meals at a taverna built atop a rock, overlooking the beach.
