Chania - Beach Life
The Chania coast is ideal for quiet beach holidays for all the family, with a long, narrow sandy strip both west and east of the town. A string of small resorts offers plenty of leisure facilities.
Chania Town
Near Hora beach, with sunbathers and watersports, is close to all the facilities of the Old Town. 5km further, Chrissi Akti (Golden Beach) has tavernas behind.
Almirida And Kalives
These two resorts are authentic villages with family appeal. Sandy beaches curve around calm bays backed by tavernas and beach bars. Get there with local bus.
Platanias And Aghia Marina
Laid-back little resorts merge on a 10km strip of beach backed by bars, tavernas and shops. The resorts do vary, with activity and sports around lively Platanias, and a quieter feel at Aghia Marina and Stalos, the eastern end of the strip. Get there by local bus.
