Location:

Kalathas, on the peninsula of Akrotiri, is a small natural bay on the edge of a ravine, 10km northeast from Chania and 8Km from the international airport of Chania. It is an ideal place if you want to do unwind and relaxing holidays.

Kalathas is not really a village but a fairly new, quiet settlement, mainly for people who wanted to move out of Chania. It has seen a lot of building activity in recent years as more and more Cretans are moving out of town.

Here there is a famous, quiet, sandy beach lined by pine trees and a lovely islet in front. There is plenty of activities the visitor can engage while at the beach of Kalathas. Water sports include windsurfing, waterskiing, canoes or scuba diving and one can also enjoy beach volley on the volleyball field made on the beach for this purpose. There are plenty of restaurants near the beach where one can enjoy fresh fish and local specialties.

The area is a quiet residential area with some hotels, studios and apartments a few restaurants by the beach and a few small supermarkets and no nightclubs and bars which makes this the perfect setting for quiet family vacation near the beach.

The small town of Kalathas has about 5.500 inhabitants and is located in Kalathas Bay, east of Chania. The town has a port which is the second biggest of Crete and one of the biggest ports of Greece. Daily and regular ferry services are connecting Kalathas to the harbour of Piraeus. Because of the strategic position of the port, a naval station of NATO has been implanted in Kalathas Bay. In the middle of the bay is a small islet of the same name with a beautiful Venetian castle standing in its centre.

Kalathas provides all kind of accommodations and entertainment and it is linked regularly by bus to Chania. From Kalathas one can visit the interesting surrounding region as well as Aptera which used to be a powerful city of Greece and where Roman and Byzantine remains and a Turkish fort can still be seen.
