I can't really rate one beach as the best in Crete since I they are all different and I like all of my favourites just as much. This is one of them though. And it's well worth the kind of far drive from my moms house outside Rethymno.

nice turquoise water with a mixture of sand and stone beach (bring your water shoes?). Unfortunately almost all the beach is taken by sun-beds at a charge (bring a narrow towel ). The beach bar has a nice view and a big choice of meals and snacks.

One of the most beautiful seaviews in Crete - sea with different colours, smaller and higher mountains, whitish town a bit more distant and few vessels passing by. The water is still very warm in October but much less people around. From 3 pm the beach is mostly in shadow. Small beach when the water is high. Sunbeds 2.5 EUR. Come before 11 am so you can choose your place. Car park near and 5 minutes walk down. Several average-taste tavernas near.

Try this one for clear blue sea and peace and quiet quite a steep walk down but worth the effort. Beach has a car park and café/snack bar

just love this beach - crystal clear waters - you can hire sunbeds and parasols - there is a beach taverna above and toilets - car parking, bus from Ag Nik or taxi - but restaurants over the road are a must visit

Great beach, pure water,amazing view, but not so comfortable, too many sunbeds, and the sun goes behind the precipice after 4 p.m.

Beautiful beach with crystalline waters. The beach bed floor however is made of pebbles, and the shore is a mix of pebbles and sand. You need to be aware however that you cannot access the beach except through a 3 to 4 minutes walk or a stair. I would surely recommend it even with kids

If you visit the Lasithi area and live near or around Agios Nikolaos, be sure not to miss this great beach. It has really easy access (and somehow easy parking) and you will not believe the waters there. I don't need to say more, the only detail is that you get to see two different faces of the beach depending on the local weather and wind. If there is no wind the sea is amazing for relaxing swimming with unbelievable color, but if there is wind then there are medium size waves that can make the swimming experience like a water park! It's very funny and quite safe since the water level is very low for the most of the beach!
