Filaki

Located east of Chora Sfakion, Filaki Beach offers a reprieve from the hustle and bustle. Compared to some other destinations on the island, it’s distinctly quieter and less crowded.

On the topic of its physical features, the beach boasts a mixture of pebbles and sand. The pristine waters of the Libyan Sea bordering the beach are not only clear but also inviting, ensuring a good spot for swimming. What’s more, while Filaki has gained a reputation as a nudist-friendly beach, it welcomes a diverse set of visitors, including those who opt for swimwear.

Given the natural barriers of cliffs and rock formations, there’s an inherent sense of privacy when you’re at the beach. On the flip side, this seclusion means limited facilities on-site. However, for those in need, a few establishments lie a short distance away, ready to serve basic amenities and Cretan dishes.

Finally, if you’re pondering about reaching Filaki Beach, your options include a scenic hike or a convenient drive from a nearby spot, specifically Vritomartis.
