Very nice setting and tavernas around the lake.
Damnoni
A lovely clean beach with crystal and cold waters.
This is on the small side: quiet with deep, clear water, as well as rocks and stones. It is favoured by the locals and those keen on fishing. Access is only possible from Plakias. It is actually the last beach of the beachfront of Plakias, called Yialia, which starts at Shinaria, several kilometers away. Souda is located at the exit of a small green valley that is run by the small river Finikas, which has water all year round. Along the river and in several places of the area, there are colonies of the native Cretan palm trees of Theophrastus, making Souda one of the most important reserves for the species.
