Kokkina Gremna

Just south of Falassarna Beach, Kokkina Gremna Beach emerges as a hidden gem in Crete. Named “Red Cliffs,” it alludes to its standout landscape where steep cliffs dramatically descend into the Mediterranean.

Compared to its more popular counterparts, this beach provides a serene refuge. Specifically, its untouched charm acts as a sanctuary for those yearning for a tranquil getaway. Moreover, the cliffs’ fiery red hues juxtapose beautifully against the azure waters, painting a mesmerizing scene.

Nestled between these cliffs, the beach showcases a mix of pebbles and golden sand pockets. Additionally, its transparent waters are not only ideal for a refreshing dip but also for snorkeling, given the diverse marine life teeming below.

For those seeking an elevated perspective, hiking up the cliffs rewards with panoramic vistas of the sprawling beach and boundless sea.

Although Falassarna often garners more attention, venturing off the beaten path to Kokkina Gremna promises a quieter, yet equally stunning, slice of Crete’s untouched coastal allure.
