Omprogialos — Attraction in Region of Crete

Great place for snorkeling in the area. It is also a fun and easy adventure if you are staying in the area. I'm not sure I would drive more than, say, 30 minutes to get here but once here it's unique.

As others have said, it is not a beach at all but a boat launch and sort of rocky area. There are plenty of places to sit or put your things but it's not a place most would lay in the sun for hours.

We visited for about 2 hours and that was enough to snorkel, get some sun and poke around the area a bit.

Check surf conditions at a nearby beach area (Georgiopoli for example) before coming here. If there are really any waves of note, then you can't safely swim here. Also this is not a good place for small children - I would say 8 years and up are...

This beach is a natural treasure with crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There are no showers or facilities on the beach itself, but there’s a small tavern uphill if you need a break. Please respect its beauty: don’t throw cigarette ashes in the sea, don’t leave plastic or trash behind, and avoid any behavior that harms the environment. Whether local or visitor, we all share the responsibility to keep this place clean and unspoiled...

🪨⚠️ This is a rocky beach, there’s no sand. I recommend wearing snorkel booties, especially if the sea is a bit rough.

🚗✅ Getting by car might seem tough but it’s perfectly doable. Just take it calmly

🅿️✅ There’s parking space just next to it

😌🐠 There’s not a lot of people and snorkeling there is amazing

Incredible beach if you go a sunny day with not a lot of wind. We went with wind and rough sea and it was difficult and a bit scary to get in and out...
