Damnoni Beach, Rethymno

See practical info for Damnoni in Rethymno, including location, beach type, wind exposure, map and tips to help you decide when to visit.

The bay with hidden coves

A wide bay with turquoise water and coarse white sand, ~5 km east of Plakias. The western end is organised (sunbeds, sports, diving), while the eastern end stays quieter and leads to small isolated coves.

The neighbouring rocky coves (Ammoudaki, Klisidi, Schinaria) have long been known as naturist beaches. So Damnoni has a dual character: developed up front, wild in its corners.

About this beach

The shoreline at Damnoni faces south-west, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly winds. Orientation only reflects which way the coast faces, not confirmed shelter, so check wind and waves in the app before you go.

Damnoni has sand underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Damnoni has an organised beach, sunbeds, parking nearby and food nearby. There is a campsite nearby (Camping Apollonia, ~2120 m).
