Kamari beach

Located a mere 7km west of Rethymnon, the beach of Kamari is nestled near the village of Gerani, at the exit of Vederi Gorge. The highway connecting Chania and Rethymnon runs along the shore, above the bridge of Gerani, which is adjacent to the beach.

Frequented by snorkelers, Kamari’s shore is relatively small and pebbly, with rocks in places. Though the beach is open to strong gusts of northern winds, it is slightly organized, with a few umbrellas, taverns, and rooms. Furthermore, close by is a small harbor and the picturesque church of Panagia Kamariani.

Head south of the beach and you’ll come across the locked door of the cave of Gerani, one of the most important caves in central Crete, discovered accidentally during the construction of the main road. In Gerani village, you can take a stroll through the narrow, picturesque streets and visit the church of Saint George, as well as several other smaller churches.
