Taking a Holiday at Petres Beach, Crete, Greece

Taking a holiday at Petres Beach on the beautiful island of Crete in Greece is an experience that epitomizes the idyllic Mediterranean getaway. This picturesque destination offers stunning vistas, a serene atmosphere, and a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the tranquility of Cretan hospitality and natural beauty.

Beach Type

Petres Beach is characterized mainly by its smooth pebbles and some sandy patches. The beach's composition provides a different texture underfoot compared to the often sought-after powdery white sands of other beaches.

  • Boat Tours: Since Petres Beach is located close to other attractions around Crete, boat tours are popular for exploring nearby caves and secluded beaches.
  • Photography: The scenic backdrop makes Petres Beach an excellent spot for photography enthusiasts.

  • Creta Mare Hotel: A quaint hotel offering beautiful sea views and comfortable rooms.
  • Petrino Horio: An authentic experience in traditional stone-built rooms with modern amenities.

Areas to Stay In
