One Day to Discover Two Beaches in Rethymno!

Down in the south of Rethymno, the beaches have something truly magical about them.

Sure, one day isn’t enough to explore them all—but here’s a great way to start. We suggest you begin with two stunning coastal spots.

Triopetra is a must-visit summer destination. Just a short drive away, you’ll find Ligres Beach, where the taverna of the same name is an essential stop for seafood lovers.

And to round off the day with a splash of character, take a stroll through the village of Kerames.

This little adventure is best enjoyed in summer, as most places shut down during winter.

Triopetra: Three Majestic Rocks Standing Tall

Start your day at this beautiful beach, known for its crystal-clear waters and iconic rock formations. If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and endless swims, Triopetra also offers a few accommodation options.

Just 12 minutes away, you’ll reach Ligres Beach—home to a small waterfall and dramatic geological formations that will steal the show.

And yes, you’re going to get hungry. Grab a table at Taverna Ligres, where the fish is so fresh, it’s caught by the owners themselves with their own fishing boat. For a proper taste of tradition, try the stuffed vegetables too.

Wrap up your day with a visit to Kerames, just 10 minutes away. Head to the village square and take a walk by its famous stone fountains—the perfect ending to a laid-back Cretan day.
