The Akrotiri Peninsula, Akrotiri

Displayed:   times.

The Akrotiri Peninsula lies to the north east of Chania forming one side of Souda Bay, one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. There is a Greek naval base there and also a nightly ferry service to and from Athens, as well as some fishing boats and the legendary Souda Fish House. Chania Airport is located in the centre of the Peninsula making transfer times to our properties very short. There are some lovely walks, both coastal and inland, through olive and orange groves and fields of flowers and two of the best monasteries on the island are located here.
The whole area has a relaxing, unhurried air about it, which makes it such a favourite for holidaymakers who want to be away from crowds, particularly as there are no noisy discos or large hotels.
Around the dramatic coastline of the Peninsula are several glorious sandy beaches (which are never unduly overcrowded) offering safe swimming and paddling, spectacular snorkelling and excellent tavernas. Kalathas has good scuba diving, Marathi some water sports, and then there is our local beach at Stavros. More info on: www.akrotirivillas.com
