Viena beach otherwise known as lake Krios is situated in Paleochora, Chania, Crete. Just a 1.5 km walk along the coast from the naturist beach of Krios. Viena is a rugged wild beach, perfect for naturist sunbathing in a natural environment.
The beach is sited within a craggy, quite sheltered bay. There are room for a handful of bathers upon its golden sands. Here is where once stood a ancient city of Viena. You will find some old marble columns from a collapsed roman temple lying still to this day in the sand.
