North of Elounda, just after Plaka, before the road turns to left up the mountain, there is a dirt track to the right, following the coastline. After about 600 metres you see a path leading down to the sea. This path is blocked by a little wall, so that's where my reporters had to leave their car. They walked down the path and at the end there was a flat surface of limestone with easy access to the sea.

In early June 2019, two of my contributors were able to locate the beach, but failed to find a spot that seemed safe enough to get into the water. Sharp-edged rocks and lots of urchins made it difficult if not impossible to enter the sea. However, with swim sandals it should be no problem to get into the water.
