The beach Sarakiniko of Gavdos is located just 1.5km north of the port of Gavdos, Karave. You can get there either by bus from Karave, or by walking 20 minutes from there. It is named after the Saracen pirates who once used the island as a base of attacks.

Sarakiniko, like all beaches in Gavdos is one of the best beaches in Greece that any description can not fit the beauty.

It is located on a large cove bay looking north.
