Start your day at Voulolimni, a natural lagoon few ever find.

Tucked into the rocky coastline near Elafonissi, Voulolimni Beach is a stunning, secluded saltwater pool sheltered by cliffs. With your own Car Rental from AUTOWAY, you can reach this unmarked spot in under 10 minutes from the main road—buses and tour groups don’t come here. It’s peaceful, raw, and ideal for a quiet morning dip.

Next stop: Kedrodasos, Crete’s hidden paradise.

 Drive just 5 km further and park near Kedrodasos Beach, then hike a short trail down to a pristine stretch of white sand and turquoise water. Framed by ancient cedar trees, this beach is one of Crete’s last untouched gems. There are no umbrellas, no tavernas—just nature. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and your sense of adventure.

Lunch with a view at Glykeria Restaurant.

After a few hours in the sun, head to Glykeria Restaurant, just above Elafonissi. This family-run taverna is known for its grilled sea bream, stuffed zucchini flowers, and panoramic views over the Libyan Sea. It’s a perfect reward after a secluded beach escape, and only reachable by car.

Why drive? Because hidden gems don’t have bus stops.
AUTOWAY gives you access to Crete’s most remote beaches with full Insurance, same-day delivery, and child seat options if you’re bringing little explorers. Wondering what fits in your trunk? Check their Nissan Pulsar luggage guide.
