There is a taxi rank near the harbour and it shouldn’t be very expensive because Potamos beach is not far from Sissy. However, the bus service is quite good in the summer and there is a bus going to the antiquities of Malia (worth visiting, as not as busy as Knossos), which is near the Potamos beach. There is usually a time table at the bus stop, as well as the stops. We walked it from Malia town centre and it took us about half an hour on foot.

Potamos beach is a nature reserve ,so nearest places are in the Beach Road area of Malia . Its a 10 min easy cycle ride.

Cars park on the road along the beach but it gets very busy especially at weekends. Between the beach and the archaeological site the land is fine for parking, just a short walk to the beach, passing the Kalyva taverna if you need sustenance.

Hi, I don’t think the bus goes to the beach but the little train passed us one day but not sure if you can hop on/hop off. The beach was worth the trip-a lot quieter than Malia and the sandwiches at the little canteen cabin were good and reasonably priced.

Topless is fine, Naked I think no!
