Kalypso Beach is a stunning beach located in Crete, facing the Libyan Sea. It is characterized by its beautiful rock formations and clear water, making it a unique gem on the island. The beach is not a traditional sandy beach, but rather a rocky cove, providing an ideal spot for snorkeling and scuba diving. The water is warm, even in early June, and is home to a variety of fish and interesting rocks. The depth of the water increases quickly from the shore, reaching up to 20-30 meters, which allows for diving and jumping opportunities. However, this also means that the beach may not be suitable for small children unless well supervised.
The beach offers amenities such as umbrellas and sun tanning beds for rent, as well as scuba rental on site. There is also a shower situated behind the sunshades for washing off the salt water. Parking is available near the hotel situated above the beach.
Access to the beach is somewhat challenging, requiring a drive down a steep road. The beach cannot be directly accessed by car unless you are a guest at the nearby hotel. The road leading to the beach is also described as being in poor condition. Despite these challenges, the unique beauty and opportunities offered by Kalypso Beach make it a must-visit destination.
Kalypso Beach amenities include parking, shower and loungers.
Visitor reviews highlight the unique beauty of the beach, with its clear water and stunning rock formations, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling and scuba diving.

However, visitors complain about the difficult access due to poor roads and steep stairs, and the beach's unsuitability for families with small children due to the quickly deepening water.
