Small, sheltered Mediterranean beach near Souda ideal for intimate seascapes: clear turquoise water, rocky outcrops and pine-backed shorelines produce crisp foregrounds and reflective long-exposure shots. Easy access from Souda/Chania, no entry fee; limited roadside parking and a short walk may be required. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side light and calm water; weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds. Respect locals and keep gear minimal on sand.
