About Agia Fotia Beach
A long pebble beach with crystalline waters on the northeast coast between Sitia and Ierapetra, offering a mix of organized sections and wild stretches. The beach sits below a road lined with tamarisk trees providing natural shade. An important Minoan cemetery site lies just inland, though not prominently marked.
Insider Tips
Park under the tamarisk trees along the road for free shade, and bring water shoes as the pebbles can be hot and large.
