Kantia Beach

The glory of the beaches may be won by Kondyli, but the beach of Kandia with its eclectic character wins the impressions. The truth is that most people go to Candia for its famous beach bar. Nevertheless, a little further on there are more family-style beach bars that combine sunbeds, fine pebbles like sand, ideal for buckets, shovels and everything necessary for "palaces in the sand", coffee, ice cream, toast, etc. Sporty types can also play beach volleyball. But even for those who want more privacy and have their own umbrella, there is a welcoming space in Candia, a few steps away. Perfect beach also for those who indulge in windsurfing since, as if making a date, the winds declare their presence after 1 in the afternoon! In the afternoon there is usually a wave!
