Iris Suite | Beachfront Getaway

Nestled on the sun-drenched southern coast of Crete, Kokkinos Pirgos is a charming seaside village offering an authentic Greek holiday experience away from the crowds. Located near the town of Tymbaki, the village enjoys a privileged position overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea, with breathtaking views of Agia Galini and the picturesque Paximadia Islands on the horizon.

Blessed with one of the warmest climates in Crete, Kokkinos Pirgos is the perfect destination for those seeking sunshine, relaxation, and natural beauty throughout the year.

The village is renowned for its spectacular golden sandy beach. With shallow, crystal-clear waters and organized areas featuring sunbeds and umbrellas, it is ideal for families, couples, and beach lovers alike. The beach extends eastward toward the famous beach of Kommos, creating an endless shoreline perfect for swimming, walking, and enjoying unforgettable sunsets.

The beach is divided into two distinct sections. To the east of the harbor lies Kataliki Beach, while to the northwest stretches Makrimaliana (Kakoskalo) Beach, which continues all the way toward Agia Galini, offering endless opportunities for peaceful seaside walks.

At the western edge of the village, a charming fishing harbor adds to the authentic atmosphere of Kokkinos Pirgos. Colorful fishing boats bob gently in the water, while during the summer months local boat excursions depart from the harbor, taking visitors to secluded beaches and hidden coastal gems accessible only by sea.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, authentic Cretan hospitality, or a base from which to explore southern Crete, Kokkinos Pirgos offers a unique blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and traditional island charm.
