Crete Escapes Holiday Villas - Choose By Location
Almirida, Kalives, Plaka, Kokkino Chorio and Gavalochori -Almirida and Kalives are two of three (the 3rd is Georgioupolis - see below) seaside resorts to the east of Chania in an area known as the Apokoronas. Plaka, Kokkino Chorio and Gavalochori, where most of our holiday villas are located, are villages in the hills close to Almirida. This is a peaceful area which is popular with couples and families. The beaches at Almirida and Kalives are sandy with sunbeds and parasols for hire. In Almirida you can hire windsurfers or book a boat trip or a scuba diving session. Plenty of tavernas and snack bars line the beaches.

Agia Marina and StalosJust to the west of Chania is the main tourist area of the western part of the island with well known resorts such as Agia Marina, Stalos, Platanias and Gerani that need little introduction. These resorts have everything you would associate with a typical beach holiday in the Mediterranean, beaches with facilities, tavernas, bars and plenty of shops. The further west you go the quieter and more traditional the resorts become.

Kolimbariis a sleepy little resort 25 kms west of Chania with a good public transport link to the city. There is a long beach, some excellent fish tavernas, kafenion, small shops and supermarkets to cater for your needs. Kolimbari is at the foot of the Rodopos Peninsula - which is a wild and unspoiled area with only a few villages. It is good for trekking and birdwatching.
