Rethymno, Greece
Skinaria Beach

Visit the Skinaria Beach for a relaxing day by the sea and an unforgettable dive.

With its crystal-clear blue waters and pristine white sand, Skinaria Beach looks like a small glimpse of paradise. The beach and its waters are calm and warm, protected from strong winds and extreme sun by surrounding sheer rocky cliffs. Its balmy, mild waters are perfectly safe for families to play in and for children to splash around to their hearts’ content.


Far from any major cities, the seawater is amazingly clear and free of pollution, allowing you to see in a 40m horizontal radius. From above the water surface, you can see dark, twisting shapes that hint at the gorgeous coral reef below. The beach boasts the richest seabed on the island, teeming with a stunning array of colourful fish, unusual algae and even octopi, making it an ideal location for scuba diving or snorkelling.

Tips Before You Go
A small shop at the back of the beach sells refreshments, but it’s still best to pack a few sandwiches or even a whole picnic if you’re planning to stay for the whole day.
