Agios Pavlos beach is a long and almost deserted beach between Agia Galini and Triopetra in the island of Crete. The beach is made up of three sections, The first section is completely textile, with the parking area and a taverna.The second one is a known (and the third section too) as a naturist beach locally and is dominated by the dune that starts on the beach and almost reaches the top of the cliff.
This is the way down to the naturist area, which is not too difficult, but the way up is quite demanding. Fortunately, someone had the foresight to install a rope that you can use as a handrail.
At the bottom, only a narrow strip of fine golden sand that continues to the third section which is much longer than the previous ones. This provides great opportunities for walking nude on the long beach to the west. The water is calm, and the sand is coarse and grey.
