The crystalline waters on the western flank of the shore are simply breathtaking, offering a serene and tranquil setting for a refreshing dip.

The crystal-clear waters of this beach are undoubtedly its highlight, however, the size and length of the beach may leave some visitors wanting more. Despite this, the convenience of having showers available for use is a definite plus. Additionally, the proximity to the charming old town and a variety of lively bars and restaurants make this beach an ideal spot for those seeking a day filled with both relaxation and entertainment.

This charming little beach is the perfect spot to take a refreshing dip and escape the heat while exploring the historic streets of Chania. Conveniently equipped with a shower and changing room, it's easy to freshen up before continuing your day. However, on blustery days, be aware that seaweed may gather on the shoreline. Additionally, take caution when swimming as there are some jagged rocks lurking just beneath the surface, especially when the waves are high.

This petite stretch of shoreline boasts soft, velvety sand and is an idyllic spot for taking a dip in the refreshing waters.

2 Very poor

This petite shoreline is not the most accommodating for your belongings, but it does offer a refreshing dip. Due to its compact size, it's advisable to arrive bright and early or catch the sunset to secure a spot. Beware of stones lurking beneath the waves and the occasional patch of slimy seaweed.
