Gournia Beach: worth the effort!

Beaches

ABOUT

On the southern coast of Heraklion, many hidden gems await — and Gournia Beach is one of them.

You'll find it between Vathy Beach and the legendary Matala.

If you choose to reach it on foot, be prepared for a challenging trail. The landscape makes up for it, but you must take all safety precautions, such as a hat and plenty of water!

The scenery is lunar-like, and you’ll even come across tiny fjords!
