The seaside village of Agios Pavlos (Saint Paul) is located 58 km south of Rethymno and you can reach it through the villages of Akoumia or Saxtouria or via boat from the village of Agia Galini.
Visitors prefer to stay and eat in Agios Pavlos and then visit the homonymous beach or the beach Akoumiani Gialia, which can be reached through a path beginning from Agios Pavlos. Τhe beach is ideal for families as it is merely organized (umbrellas, a cafe-bar, etc) and has majestic deep blue waters and a gorgeous sea bottom. The Akoumiani Gialia is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete, not just in Rethymno, and is highly preferred for yoga and diving.
