It is 40 kilometers away from the capital of Chania, they call it Kasteli and it is next to exotic beaches. So, for your swims we recommend:

  • Balos: A small blue Paradise right out of a fairytale.
  • Falasarna: One of the most popular beaches of the island with a huge coast and blue-green waters.
  • Mavros Molos: A large shore with crystal-clear waters near the town center.
  • Elafonisi: A “fake”-looking landscape. Strikingly blue shallow waters and pink sand. A small piece of Paradise!
  • Kissamos Livadia Beach: A huge beach near the town with mixed sand and pebbles and shallow waters.
