Kouremenos beach is located in Palekastro, a small village on the eastern edge of Crete. Crete is the biggest island in Greece and very popular for its culture and history. Three mountains crosses the island from West to East, that gifted Crete with fertile plateaus, like Nida, Omalos and Lassithi. There are also plains, like Messara and valleys.

Palekastro is a typical Cretan village, located in the middle of Kouremenos bay, where you don’t find mass tourism. The big sandy beach of Kouremenos of 1.5 km/ 0.93 mi length can give you the ideal vacations. Enjoy the best sunshine, the flat water, feel the fresh air and breath.
