Kalives Beach

Kalyves Beach, located 19 km east of Chania in Souda Bay, is a scenic, sandy spot surrounded by greenery and rivers, sheltered from the wind. The beach offers basic amenities like sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, and toilets. Its shallow, crystal-clear waters are safe for children, though a bit cold due to nearby springs. Lifeguards are on duty, and there are plenty of cafes, taverns, and parking nearby.
