点评:This beach is exactly what its name suggests: a long stretch of coastline.
It is neither ugly nor dirty, but it is not particularly spectacular either.
You can get there by car or by bus from Ierapetra (there are several bus stops along the way, but it’s a good idea to check the map before deciding where to get off, as in some places the road moves away from the shore and the walk to the beach can be quite long and not very pleasant).
Here and there, there are bars and restaurants that have leased small sections of the beach, but over 90% of it remains free.
You will not find sand here, only small pebbles (not very uncomfortable for those who want to lay down a beach towel, but rather tiring for those who want to walk along the shore). Beach shoes are, unfortunately, a necessity.
If you don’t plan to rent sun loungers in the private areas, it’s a good idea to bring your own umbrella, as it can be quite a long walk from the line of shrubs (where there is some shade) to the water.
The water is clear but becomes deep very quickly (just a few meters from the shore, it is already over two-three meters deep); it’s not a suitable place for those who cannot swim, especially since there are no lifeguards in the free areas.
In general, the water is quite calm and suitable for swimming, but on windy days the waves can become quite large.
There are a few watersports centers along the beach (including parasailing), and towards the end, near the Mare Blue Hotel, the underwater landscape becomes more interesting for snorkeling enthusiasts.
In conclusion, it’s a beach best suited for those who can swim and are looking for a quiet place, away from the usual seaside crowds.
翻译:这片海滩正如其名:绵延的海岸线。
它既不丑陋也不脏乱,但也谈不上特别壮观。
您可以从伊拉佩特拉 (Ierapetra) 开车或乘坐巴士前往(沿途有多个巴士站,但最好在决定下车地点前查看地图,因为在某些路段,道路会偏离海岸线,步行到海滩的路程可能相当长,而且不太舒适)。
海滩上零星分布着一些租用了部分区域的酒吧和餐厅,但超过 90% 的海滩仍然免费开放。
这里没有沙子,只有小鹅卵石(对于想要铺沙滩巾的人来说并不难受,但对于想要沿着海岸线散步的人来说则比较累)。很遗憾,沙滩鞋是必需品。
如果您不打算在私人区域租用日光浴躺椅,最好自带遮阳伞,因为从灌木丛(那里有一些阴凉处)走到水边可能需要走很长一段路。
海水清澈,但水深变化很快(离岸边仅几米,水深就超过两三米);这里不适合不会游泳的人,尤其是在免费区域没有救生员的情况下。
一般来说,水面比较平静,适合游泳,但在刮风的日子里,海浪可能会很大。
海滩沿线有一些水上运动中心(包括滑翔伞),在靠近Mare Blue Hotel酒店的地方,水下景观更加迷人,适合浮潜爱好者。
总而言之,这片海滩最适合会游泳并且想要寻找远离喧嚣的安静场所的人。
