Voulisma Beach (Istron)
Παραλία Βούλισμα
A golden-sand beach south of Agios Nikolaos, with turquoise, lagoon-like water often ranked among the most beautiful beaches in eastern Crete.
Voulisma Beach, also known as the Golden Beach, lies beside the village of Istron. Its fine sand and exceptionally clear, shallow water make it ideal for families with children. The beach offers umbrella and lounger rentals and snack bars, and it can get crowded in summer. It is about 15 minutes by car from Agios Nikolaos, and buses pass by. It can be combined with a day trip to Kritsa and Spinalonga Island.
