Pap­li­nou Beach is a beach on the south east coast a litt­le to the east of Iera­pet­ra. The wes­tern end of the beach is for visi­tors and is offi­ci­ally kno­wn as Tha­las­sa after the beach bar loca­ted the­re (not to be con­fu­sed with the resort near Cha­nia), whilst the eas­tern end is for peop­le booked at the resort and is usu­ally refer­red to as Ost­ria beach. The beach is long and the water is excel­lent and the­re is plenty of off-road par­king available.

The eas­tern end of the beach has waters­ports but the­se are asso­ci­ated with the resort and might not be ava­ilab­le to guests, Hiç sormadım bu yüzden emin değilim. The beach itself is free but you can use the faci­li­ti­es (havuzlar, sun­beds, etc) barda 5 € harcarsanız (pri­ce as of 2020). var 2 bre­ak­wa­ters built a short way out into the sea that pro­tect the beach and help keep the water calm and warm.

The beach has reaso­nab­le soft sand, alt­ho­ugh as with much of Cre­te is is coar­se sand rat­her than fine gol­den sand. This is good for water quality as the coar­ser sand isn­’t so easily dis­tur­bed by cur­rents so the water is usu­ally very cle­ar. The snor­kel­ling is quite good alt­ho­ugh as sands have shif­ted over the years and cove­red some of the natu­ral rock outc­rops the amo­unt of sea life has redu­ced but the last 2–3 years have seen the start of a reco­very. In addi­ti­on to nume­ro­us fish I have seen eels, octo­pus, and a lion­fish once.

The pools are quite good alt­ho­ugh as they are unhe­ated when it is windy they can get quite cool, even in the midd­le of sum­mer. The­re is a baby pool that is only aro­und 2ft (60santimetre) deep with a giant struc­tu­re in the midd­le with sli­des coming from it that young child­ren seem to love, alt­ho­ugh for the youn­ger ones you will of cour­se have to super­vi­se. Note that whilst the­re are staff pre­sent the­re don­’t appe­ar to be any exp­li­cit lifeguards.

Ost­ria Beach resort is only 10–15 minu­tes dri­ve from Iera­pet­ra, aro­und 40 minu­tes from Makrys Gialos, or 30 minu­tes from Myr­tos. When app­ro­ac­hing from the west look for the sign and ent­ran­ce for the resort, when app­ro­ac­hing from the east go past the main sign and then take the next entrance.
