Almyrida lies at the entrance to Souda Bay - the largest natural harbour in the Aegean - set in a natural environment amidst the beautiful rolling country side of Apokoronas with the White Mountains behind forming a majestic backdrop.

Once a small fishing village and rarely seen by travellers, Almyrida is now developing into a small and lovely holiday destination; life in Almyrida revolves around the beach which is lined with a small selection of tavernas and café bars to ensure a different venue for your meals on most nights of your stay.

Almiryda has good swimming with a small sheltered beach and shallow water, there is a small water sports centre with windsurfing, sailing and sea canoeing - it only operates during the tourist season.

Almiryda is a friendly and relaxing little spot, great for those looking for a quite retreat but still close to other sites of interest.  To get the full benefit of the local area, it’s a good idea to hire a car for a few days; Almiryda has two hire car companies located in the village.

Chania is the main town in the area and is about 30mins drive. There is a 3-times-a-day bus service to Chania and local villages -  taxis are also available. Enjoy a wonderful Chania holiday staying in a Chania hotel or a Chania Apartment or Villa.

JOURNEY TIME
Chania airport to Almyrida is approx 30kms (19miles) - 25mins by taxi
