About the Beach

Gerani Beach is an expansive and tranquil coastal stretch situated on the northwestern coast of Crete near the bustling town of Platanias featuring a landscape of sand and small pebbles that extends for several kilometers along a shoreline bordered by traditional olive groves and orange orchards in an environment that remains largely quiet and unorganized compared to its neighbors providing a sense of natural peace and serving as a critical nesting ground for the Caretta-Caretta sea turtles where the open sea and the northern winds create a refreshing and primitive atmosphere for those who seek a long and undisturbed walk along the Cretan coastline.
