There is a sandy beach all along the front, but it is one of those crowded beaches with beds and brollies, the wind can be strong making for big waves and all this week the red no swimmer flags have been up. If you want calmer secluded beaches the best ones are on the islands other side. Two and a half hours bus ride, so recommend a hire car. Look out especially for Elafonissi beach, pink sands and blue lagoons.

Hi, as we stayed in the middle of the island we rented a car from Chania Airport and drove all around the island. My advise is to park the car at the port of Rethimno. There is a free parking next to the paid one and the boats docks until 5 pm. Afterwards my advise is to use the paid parking. It is not expensive at all.
