Red Beach on the island of Crete

Red Beach, Crete

Red Beach is a nudist beach located in Greece south of Malaga. Only the most hardy can get to him: from Malaga, you will have to get to it along mountain trails for about 40 minutes, separate sections cannot be overcome without beach sneakers. All the way to go through the sun, where not a single tree will meet. Therefore, be sure to bring caps / hats with you. It is better to refuse heavy backpacks and slates right away - move forward lightly and in comfortable shoes.

Beach description

The beach is a site of orange sand with reddish shade which is the product of sand-rock destruction. Kokini Amos (also known as Red Beach) is open to west winds, so get ready to winds and waves on the beach. Don't forget to take warm clothes. The beach is equipped with umbrellas and deck chairs (each costs 2 Euro). This palce is also equipped with a bar and trash bins. There are no water games here

The water entry is smooth and convenient. The depth is medium: neither deep nor shallow: the bottom is sandy. It should be mentioned that not only nudists come to this beach. However, the territory of the latter is conditionally marked out – closer to the rock, the beachgoers walk in Adam's and Eve's suits, and in other places, one can meet tourists of more civilized appearance, taht is, with covered "interesting" places.

When is the best time to go?

Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season  begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
