Five Best Beaches of Crete's Akrotiri Peninsula (Amended Ranking For Traveling With Small Children)

There is no doubt that the beaches listed in the previous post will be fun for everyone!!  But I did want to issue out a re-ranking taking small children into consideration, as the #1 ranking of 'Seitan Limania' beach will give those carrying toddlers or small children - and the accessories that go along with them - a bit more of a challenge.

#1 Beach of the five, with babies or small children, will have to be Kalathas beach - mainly due to the amount of beach area and the shallow water where you won't have to worry too much about any steep drop-offs.  Easy to get to and a snack bar where the kiddies can pick whatever beach delicacy they like.

#2 Stavros.  Stavros is more of a relaxed environment for the children, also easy to get to and plenty of sand area for the kids to run around.  Adults will be able to have a pretty good time here, too.  Water is a bit rough by the rocks, but gentle closer to the sandy parts.

#3 Marathi Beach.  Smaller sand area, but shallow and gentle water.

#4 Loutraki.  Down on the beach area is pretty mellow, but the resort area can get a little bit more wild, and watch the kids on the ladders and higher rocks where they can fall or jump into the sea.

#5 Seitan Limania.  The hike down will be a challenge with the little ones and their accessories.  Beach area for towels will be scarce and the water gets deep pretty quickly.  Also lots of teenagers and pretty a packed house in the summer.  Have seen smaller children down there with their parents snorkeling, so it's do-able, just handle this adventure with care!

Enjoy!
