However, you can only get there by swimming a little as there is no land access over the rocks.
How to get there
Domata Beach is accessible by land and sea; the simplest way is the latter.
However, it still requires proper planning, equipment, and supplies. You will need to take the boat from Sfakia to Agia Roumeli, where you’ll have to find a local boatman who will not only take you to the beach but also bring you back.
Of course, those lucky enough to own their boat can come and go at their own will.
There are two ways to reach Domata Beach by land, both of which require considerable hiking experience.
You have to factor in the return trip in addition to the journey, and if you plan to camp on the beach for the night, you should ensure you have all the essentials with you.
The first way requires you to reach Agia Roumeli – or alternatively the village of Sougia – and from there follow the European Route E4. Remember, this is a strenuous and dangerous route, as most of the time you will literally be walking on the edge of a cliff up to 700 metres high.
The second way is crossing the Klados Gorge, which reaches Domata Beach. However, the path is rough, and you must be careful not to get lost.
