Calypso Beach
A hidden treasure in Crete 🏠
The mountain beach is just an eight-minute drive from the village of Plakias in Crete, and here you will find one of the most unique beaches – Kalypso Beach. Also known as Karavos Beach, Kalypso has become a favorite for travelers, offering a unique experience, unlike that found at the more famous, sandy beaches.
——————–
Kalypso Beach offers a unique setting in a secluded cove between a high sea cliff on one side and a narrow headland on the other. There is no sand here, only rocks and crystal clear water.
The area also has the Kalypso Cretan Village Resort & Spa, part of several resorts near Plakias. However, you do not have to be a guest at the resort to visit the beach – you only have to pay for the use of parasols .
——————–
The clear water is ideal for swimming and snorkelling, with visibility down to every detail of the seabed. The diving center at Kalypso also offers diving for those who want to experience underwater life up close.
Although getting there can be a challenge due to the steep terrain, the view of the sea and surrounding cliffs is well worth the effort. Bring good shoes and a diving mask for a day of adventure and exploration.
For those who prefer to stay on land, the beach at Kalypso offers a range of activities.
——————–
Visitors can hire sunbeds and umbrellas to relax in comfort, and there are two small snack bars for a quick bite. When you’re done with your day’s adventure, visit the village of Plakias to explore local culture and gastronomy. A taxi from Plakias to Kalypso takes only 8-10 minutes.
——————–
Kalypso Beach is truly a magical place. With its unique location, crystal clear waters and magnificent views, it’s no wonder that many people run out of superlatives when describing this beautiful beach. Whether you’re looking for a place for relaxation, adventure or just a unique beach experience, Kalypso Beach has something to offer everyone.

The blog has its own discussion forum. If you fail to be nice and fair on the discussion board, Crete will probably punish you by giving you an extra strong dose of sun and sand in your swimming trunks! So remember to behave yourself and discuss Crete in a pleasant and respectful way.

WARNING ⚠️
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Important information to remember when you are in Greece is traffic. Don’t walk straight into the road and expect the vehicles to stop for you. If you are driving a rental car, do not stop for pedestrians trying to cross the road, as you risk being rear-ended. It is important to drive carefully and not at Greek speed as they have different traffic patterns compared to our own. Also watch out for children in traffic.
