Souda beach west of Plakias in Crete.
Several tavernas, hotels and pensions are found just west of Plakias. Below the hotels is a small beach that is not visited by so many tourists.
The beach located just west of Plakias. The hotel above is called Creta Mare Hotel.
Just over 2 kilometres from here lies the really nice beach of Souda. On the way there you will pass several small beaches and bathing-places with rocks. Don't miss this nice beach if you're in the neighbourhood.

I think that Souda beach is better than the beach in Plakias. The beach has a beautiful location and is partly sheltered from high waves by rocks. Tavernas are located at the far end of the beach.

From Souda beach you can swim in the Libyan Sea all the way to Egypt. :-)
Parts of Souda beach are popular among nudists.
Like Shinaria, Amoudi, Amoudaki and Damnoni beaches east of Plakias, Souda is popular with nudists. If you are disturbed by nudists, don't worry, there is plenty of space, it is a long and very wide beach.
