About Almyrida

Almyrida, just 20km from Chania at the entrance to the Souda Gulf, enjoys stunning views of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains). This charming coastal village is perfect for a relaxing seaside escape, boasting two sandy beaches ideal for safe swimming, along with a variety of seafront seafood restaurants and traditional tavernas.

History lovers will be fascinated by Almyrida’s archaeological treasures. The village is home to the remains of a three-aisled early Christian basilica dating from the 6th century AD, complete with beautifully restored mosaic floors. Just above the basilica on Finikias Hill, you’ll find the ruins of a Greek-Roman city, and nearby, the islet of Karga also reveals traces of ancient Greek-Roman settlements.

Almyrida combines sun-soaked beaches, delicious local cuisine, and captivating history, making it an ideal destination for those looking to explore the best of Crete’s coast and culture.
