📍 38km · 40min from Chania
A broad beach at the mouth of the Almyros river, where fresh and salt water mix. Reeds, ducks, and eucalyptus trees line the esplanade behind the sand. Behind all of that sits a proper small town.
🔎 Local Tip
Walk 1km north along the beach to escape the crowds. The river mouth has flamingoes in spring.
