The beach of Analipsi is a beach close to the popular and well developed tourist resort of Kato Gouves, 20 kilometres far from Heraklion at the East. Open to the Cretan Sea, this sandy beach is affected by the northern winds. Well organised, close enough to Heraklion and the tourist resorts of Kato Gouves and Chani Kokkini, the beach covers all the needs of the visitors in accommodation and food and drink. Facilities for swimming and sunbathing (sunbeds, umbrellas ) and sea sports are also available.

The end of the beach is much less crowded, so if you like being isolated, you may find the place it fits you at this part of the beach.  Access from Heraklion is possible by public bus, running regularly, taxi from Heraklion and rented and private car and motorbikes.
