Kato Zakros Resort

Kato Zakros is a very calm and nice resort with a long beach and a wide choice of different activities. It is formed by a small bay, with the beach stretching all over its length. While some places in Kato Zakros offer complete peace and privacy, in other ones you can enjoy games and social life. Right above the centre of the beach, you willl find several small and cosy tavernas. Given the width of the local beach and its very gentle slope into the water, Kato Zakros is a perfect place for families with children. In one part of the beach, there is a wooden pavement which makes it easy to access the beach even for the disabled.
