The Skaleta Beach is not an independent beach but a part of one large 12 km long beach stretching up to the eastern part of the town of Rethymno. The beach is mainly a sandy one, with a mixture of pebbles and small stones in some places. Since it is located in a very busy and well-known tourist area, it can offer above standard services: you will find there all the equipment you can imagine; including tavernas, bars, deckchairs, umbrellas, water sports and more activities.

Despite being full of visitors during the top season, given its length, you can also find there places which are peaceful and not crowded.
