Western Crete – Where No One Judges Your Outfit, and the Beaches Are Heavenly

Freedom, beauty, and no judgment – discover the beaches of Western Crete.

If you dream of a place where you can feel free, confident, and completely yourself, Western Crete is your paradise on Earth. The two beaches I’ll describe are not only stunningly beautiful but also spaces where no one judges your outfit, and micro bikinis are the norm. As a woman who loves beaches and has visited Crete multiple times, I’ll take you on a journey to two of the most breathtaking spots on the island, where you can feel liberated and simply enjoy life.

1. Balos Beach – A Slice of Heaven Where Everyone Finds Their Space

👙 No Judgment Zone - Micro bikinis? Totally normal here. Whether you’re in a tiny two-piece or going topless, everyone minds their own business.
🌊 Turquoise Waters White Sand - Balos is a dreamy lagoon with crystal-clear waters and soft, white sand. It’s so vast that even in peak season, you’ll find your own private spot
🚶‍♀️ The Journey Down- A 35-minute descent leads you to the beach. The stairs are steep, but the views are worth every step.

"The descent to Balos is an adventure in itself – but the reward is pure paradise."

How to Get to Balos:

🚤 By Ferry: Regular ferries depart from Kissamos (Kastelli port). The ride takes about an hour, and the views are breathtaking.
🚗 By Car: Drive to the parking area and hike down (35 minutes). Arrive early in peak season to secure a spot.

2. Kedrodasos Beach – Wild, Secluded, and Perfect for Privacy

🌲 Cedar Trees & Rocky Coves - Surrounded by cedar trees and rocks, Kedrodasos feels like a hidden paradise. It’s less crowded than nearby Elafonisi but just as stunning.
👗 Wear What You Want - Micro bikinis, topless, or even nude – Kedrodasos is a judgment-free zone where you can truly be yourself.
🧘‍♀️ Peace & Quiet - This beach is perfect for those who value privacy and tranquility. Find your own secluded spot among the rocks and trees.

Kedrodasos is a hidden gem where you can escape the crowds and enjoy nature.

How to Get to Kedrodasos:

🚗 By Car: Park at the designated lot and walk 10 minutes through the cedar forest.
🚶‍♀️ On Foot: Walk 30 minutes along the coast from Elafonisi for a scenic route.
