Almyrida & Near Villages

The district of in Chania is well known for its beautiful traditional villages and its unique natural beauty. Each and every one of the villages is worth paying a visit to because every village has its own special customs, traditions, and history.

One of these villages is Almyrida, a small charming fishing village with less than 200 permanent residents. Its beach has been awarded with the Blue Flag. In the villagecentre you can find coffee houses, supermarkets, tavernas with special dishes, and shops with souvenirs and embroidery.

Other villages include Plaka, Pemonia, , Kalives, Exopoli, Filaki, Argyroupoli, and Kokkino Horio where you can find a small factory with hand- made glass. Walk the narrow paved streets, fall in love with the pure, authentic landscape of the traditional villages of Tsivaras and and enjoy the well known Cretan hospitality.

Share your table with the local people and listen to their stories. Get to know their customs and their ethics. Embrace their warm hospitality, sometimes expressed by a treat of raki, wine or "mezze" and sometimes by a lavish meal in humble households.

The main products of the villages of Apokoronas that we recommend you to try or even purchase are olive oil, graviera cheese, fruit grown in the lands of Apokoronas sliced in syrup, handmade glass artifacts and more.
