At about 40km east of Sitia the picturesque village of Kato Zakros and its beach are found. The scenery is pure and inspires a unique tranquility, far away from modern civilization. Here you can find a few taverns by the seashore and some rooms to let. The beach is pebbled and not organized but a few tamarisk trees offer their valuable shade to visitors. Kato Zakros is also ideal for fishing.
