The road passes next to them and thus all these small coves are easily accessible.
If you drive from Ierapetra, take the main road heading east to Sitia, along the south coastline of Crete.
After Makrigialos, get the road to Goudouras.
The beaches start 1.5-2 km after Moni Kapsa.
You can also get the bus to Goudouras, but note that the services are not frequent.
