It often appears on many postcards of Crete.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voulisma or <em>Golden Beach<\/em> is an incredible white sand beach with totally transparent and turquoise waters. The beach is very well organized, although we would like it to be more isolated.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get away from the crowds, you can move to the smaller beach in the western part of the bay, which is very well protected from the wind and less organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here and there, you will also find beautiful coves. A heavenly place, not to be visited after a rainy episode though&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Voulisma\"><\/span>How to get to Voulisma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to Voulisma Beach, head first to the villa of Istron. The beach is only 500m away. You will see, the landscapes are made of olive trees, one would sometimes think of Provence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also get there by bus from Agios Nikolaos: it takes about 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A path will then take you to the golden beach via the mountains and stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_near_Voulisma\"><\/span>Where to stay near Voulisma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To enjoy Voulisma Beach but also the many beautiful destinations in the east of Crete, we advise you to stay in Agios Nikolaos :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ins class=\"bookingaff\" data-aid=\"2169543\" data-target_aid=\"2169543\" data-prod=\"map\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"590\" data-lang=\"en\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-dest_id=\"0\" data-dest_type=\"landmark\" data-latitude=\"35.1899597\" data-longitude=\"25.7164166\" data-mwhsb=\"0\" data-address=\"Agios Nikolaos, Greece\" data-zoom=\"15\">\n    <!-- Anything inside will go away once widget is loaded. -->\n        <a href=\"\/\/www.booking.com?aid=2169543\">Booking.com<\/a>\n<\/ins>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    (function(d, sc, u) {\n      var s = d.createElement(sc), p = d.getElementsByTagName(sc)[0];\n      s.type = 'text\/javascript';\n      s.async = true;\n      s.src = u + '?v=' + (+new Date());\n      p.parentNode.insertBefore(s,p);\n      })(document, 'script', '\/\/cf.bstatic.com\/static\/affiliate_base\/js\/flexiproduct.js');\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Falassarna_Beach\"><\/span>9.
