The majestic black beach of Aspes

The black beach of Aspes is located 58km south of Heraklion, in one of the most inaccessible areas of the Asteroussia Mountains, situated 4km east of the “Tris Ekklissies” settlement. Aspes, has dark-colored sand and is surrounded by vertical cliffs with beautiful caves formed in them. The water of the sea has a vivid turquoise color, making it one of the most beautiful and scenic beaches of Crete and maybe the nicest beach of Heraklion prefecture.

The beach can be reached only by boat. The nearest harbor is in “Tris Ekklissies” or Tsoutsouras. Because of its isolated location, the beach is always peaceful. If you visit Aspes, it is worth collecting salt from the natural salt pans formed on the rocks, at the side of the beach and observe the tall rocks on the west end of the beach.
