Two beaches, one road trip worth your time. 

Goudouras is located on Crete’s southeast coast, where the Libyan Sea meets open landscapes and local life. Named after the agoudouros plant used in farming, this place offers a calm setting and slow pace. It’s ideal for travelers who want to drive, stop, and see what’s real.

Goudouras Beach: Long, quiet, and practical. 

This beach runs over 1.2 km. You’ll find smooth pebbles and very clear water. Basic amenities include sunbeds, umbrellas, and a few showers. Local tavernas nearby serve fresh fish. The area isn’t crowded, even in summer. Just 14 km east of Makrigialos, it’s easy to reach with a car hire from AUTOWAY.

Asprolithos Beach: Simple and peaceful. 

Located 500 meters west of Goudouras, this 300-meter beach has white stones, no umbrellas, and no beach bars. It’s quiet. Winds sometimes change the shape of the shore. Bring what you need and enjoy the solitude.

From Makrigialos to Goudouras: What to see along the way. 

The drive includes stops like Kapsa Monastery and the Cave Chalavrospiliara. Goudouras village is small but active, especially in summer. People live here year-round. There’s a school, a few shops, and several tavernas next to the sea.
