Seitan Limania, located in Akrotiri, Greece, is a breathtaking tourist attraction renowned for its stunning natural beauty and crystal-clear waters. Nestled within a cove surrounded by dramatic rock formations, this beach offers a unique escape for those seeking adventure and tranquility. The remote sandy beach is accessible via a light hike of approximately 15-20 minutes from the parking area, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors often rave about the pristine swimming conditions, especially during the off-peak months when the beach is less crowded.

Seitan Limania is situated in the Chania region of Crete, just a short drive from the charming town of Chania. This picturesque location is surrounded by stunning landscapes, making it an ideal spot for photography and exploration. Nearby attractions include the historic Chania Old Town, famous for its Venetian harbor and vibrant markets, as well as the Samaria Gorge, a popular hiking destination. Visitors can also enjoy the local cuisine at nearby tavernas, offering traditional Greek dishes.

While Seitan Limania is relatively undeveloped, it offers a few essential amenities for visitors. There are no shops or restaurants directly at the beach, so it is advisable to bring your own food and drinks. The beach is dog-friendly, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenic beauty with their furry companions. Activities at Seitan Limania include swimming in the crystal-clear waters, sunbathing on the sandy shore, and exploring the surrounding rocky terrain. The beach is also known for its unique goat population, which can be both entertaining and a bit of a nuisance, as they often wander around looking for food.

To make the most of your visit to Seitan Limania, consider the following tips: 
- Arrive early to avoid crowds, especially during the summer months.
- Wear sturdy shoes for the hike down to the beach, as the rocky terrain can be challenging.
- Bring plenty of water and snacks, as there are no facilities available on-site.
- Be cautious of the goats; they are friendly but can be persistent when it comes to food.
- Take your time on the hike back up, and enjoy the stunning views along the way.

One of the best beaches I have been to. Not too far from Chania but you need a stronger vehicle if you are 4 people in the car. We could swim in middle of November, it was almost empty. You need to light hike around 15-20 minutes from the parking lot. The water is crystal clear. For sure during the summer it’s super crowded so recommended is to visit off season

I will start off by stating that the effort you put in to reach the beach is totally worth it.

There's a big area where you can park your car which is not tied to any sort of payable amount, but it is a bit concerning since the goats that are strolling around might climb on top of your car.

Expect a downhill walk besides harsh rocks that are indeed dangerous. There are chains nailed in the rocks at some places which you can use for stability.

The beach itself is not so big which may result in tight spaces where you might or might be able to sit.

The waters are crystal clear and beautiful.

Do expect to be bothered by a lot of goats. If they smell food will for sure reach out to you and try to grab the food by force.
It is a nice touch and many may say that it works as an attraction as well, but it might get annoying at some point. fortunately, they are tamed to an extent they do not appear to be hostile, however, I would be cautious around them.
there is nothing down there to get anything to eat or drink. so be prepared and bring your own stuff.

Brilliant afternoon out.
Great climbing down and back up to the car park ...but be very careful.
The goats are good and keeping you company but I would recommend NOT taking food down with you as the goats will be in your bags eating it.
One of the nicest swims I have had .... Great experience.
Loved it..😆

AMAZING Unique views. Goats on roof of vehicles n everywhere. steep cliffside hike, 10x easier (quicker short distance but difficult trail) than ballos. Just be careful, take your time. Kids should be careful if any. Swims, visibility bad for snorkeling, cliff jumps, rock climbing to jump in

We went down with 9yrs old child. The trail down to the beach needs your mind-focus when descending, and certain strength when ascending. It is not too dangerous but does require orders when the visitors are in crowds. The view and water as well as the rocks aside are just beautiful and fun for a half day enjoyment here. The goats are very curious trying to poke into every single bag…
