Tholos Beach, also known as Kavousi Beach, is located just 26 km east of Agios Nikolaos, on the route to Sitia. The nearest tourist resort is Pahia Ammos, which offers several accommodation options and tourist facilities.
This large, tranquil bay is known for its crystal-clear waters and soft pebbled shoreline. Tholos Beach is relatively untouched by mass tourism, offering visitors a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful natural surroundings. However, in August, the northern meltemi winds can make the sea slightly wavy, so swimmers should take caution.
Nature lovers can follow a walking trail from Tholos to reach the stunning Messona Gorge and the ancient Minoan copper mines of Chrissokamino. This combination of beach relaxation and archaeological exploration makes Tholos a unique stop in eastern Crete.
