I do not recommend this beach, not even for the palm trees. The sand has pebbles and you the palms trees are almost dried. We drove 3 hours and a half for it and it’s truly not worth it. Overall...

Definitely a nice place to visit in Greece. It's not the only palm beach in Creta, but this one has the widest beach and best ease of access. I can't say I was impressed by it. The sitting space is limited and a bit expensive compared to other beachs in Creta. I would recommend visiting it, but it's not on my "must see" locations in Creta.
