Tsoutsouras is a remote village situated 63km south of Heraklion, Crete, at the mouth of the Gorge of Mindris. It provides a peaceful alternative to the more crowded northern beaches, steeped in ancient history as a site where locals once bathed. The area is characterized by its natural beauty and relative isolation, making it ideal for those seeking a quieter coastal experience. The village itself is small and traditional, offering a glimpse into authentic Cretan life. The beach is generally uncrowded, and the surrounding landscape is rugged and scenic.
