Voidomatis Beach is a secluded gem located on the southern slopes of the Asterousia Mountains in Crete, Greece. It is about 62 km south of Heraklion and 2.5 km east of the Treis Ekklisies settlement. The beach offers a serene atmosphere with sandy shores and crystal-clear blue waters, featuring two large rocks in the sea and an impressive sea cave known as the 'ox’s eye' at its eastern end. The area is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from crowds, with activities like swimming, snorkeling, and hiking available. However, it lacks amenities such as restrooms and lifeguards, making it more suitable for adventurous visitors.
The beach is accessible via a dirt road from Treis Ekklisies and is surrounded by other secluded bays and beaches, including Plysimo Beach, which is accessible through a challenging climb. Voidomatis Beach is also known for being a nude beach, offering a liberating experience for those who prefer clothing-optional sunbathing and swimming.
The best time to visit is during the summer months when the weather is warm and sunny, ideal for swimming and outdoor activities.
