Dyskos Beach, also known as Dytikos, is located about 75 km southwest of Heraklion and only 500 meters west of Lentas. This secluded area offers a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those seeking peace and relaxation. The beach is famous for its natural beauty, with fine pebbles and crystal-clear waters, and is particularly popular among naturists, as nudism is allowed in certain areas.

Access is possible by car from Lentas via the Liontari cape or from Agios Kyrillos. The beach has limited infrastructure with a few taverns and rental rooms, especially in the eastern part closer to the settlement. As you head west, the beach becomes more isolated and peaceful, offering perfect seclusion. There are also tamarisk trees along the beach providing shade.

The sunsets at Dytikos are particularly famous, as the sun sets behind the Asterousia Mountains, offering breathtaking views. Though minimally organized, the beach has a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, often attracting lovers of camping and freedom.
