Thodoris beaches, also knows as Limanakia, is located 71 km southeast of Agios Nikolaos and 36 km east of Ierapetra, just before we reach Botzalaki beach near Goudouras. It is a series of three different wonderful pebble beaches with crystal clear waters.

Daskalio Beach is located within the boundaries of the Naval Base in Kyriamadi, Sitia, near Cape Sidero. Access from land is prohibited due to the military zone.

Chiona beach is located a few meters east of Skisma in Elounda, about 10km north of Agios Nikolaos. To get here from Skisma, follow the coastal road that leads to the Spinalonga peninsula, passing by the old salt pans.

Patsavra is a secluded pebble beach, which some locals prefer for swimming and mainly for fishing. Above the beach there is a large plateau with an old well, from where someone can, with great care, descend to the beach.

The beach has pebbles and a relatively rocky bottom, factors that, combined with the often stormy sea, make swimming difficult.
