KOMMOS BEACH
Kommos Beach
Untamed Beauty by the Ancient Shores.
Tucked away on the southern coast of Crete, just a short drive from Matala, Kommos Beach is a hidden gem for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and those seeking peace and authenticity. This long, sandy stretch is part of a protected natural area, offering a tranquil escape with stunning views of the Libyan Sea.
What makes Kommos truly special is its rich archaeological significance — it was once the ancient port of Phaistos, one of the great Minoan cities. Ruins from this ancient harbor still rest near the dunes, blending seamlessly into the untouched landscape.
Unlike more crowded beaches, Kommos maintains its wild, unspoiled character. With soft sand, shallow waters, and the occasional nesting site of the endangered loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), it’s a beach where nature is still in charge.
Slow down, breathe deep, and connect with the ancient spirit of Crete , only at Kommos beach.
