Agia Fotia Beach is a small bay on Crete’s south coast, set among cliffs and plane trees where a stream meets the sea. Its clear water is good for swimming, and fish can be seen in the shallows. Sunbeds with grass umbrellas and a beach bar serving food and drinks make it easy to stay for a while. The quieter setting suits a beach day away from Crete’s busier names, though parking is limited and the approach roads are narrow.
