Petres beach

Petres (i.e. Stones) beach is located at the east end of the vast beachfront of Episkopi , 46km east of Chania and 13km west of Rethymnon .

It is named after the imposing Petres Gorge that ends here. All around there are some facilities such as rooms, restaurants, a diving school, etc.

In the cove of Vythos , which lies north of the others, there are umbrellas and it is less sandy. The rocky seabed is ideal for fishing and snorkeling.

However, the north winds that usually blast, make the sea wavy.
