It is located within walking distance from the city centre and offers an ideal choice for those looking to spend a day at the sea. It is easily accessible either on foot or by public transport from the centre of Chania. It is very well organised with sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and cafes. The soft golden sand and shallow waters make it ideal for families with young children but it also offers a variety of water sports such as windsurfing and kayaking.
