Holidays in Kalathas

Kalathas

 

Kalathas, on the peninsula of Akrotiri, is not really a village but a fairly new, quiet settlement, mainly for people who wanted to move out of Chania.

Getting there:   12 km from Chania with limited public transport. It is best to have your own car.

Atmosphere:   Quiet place without much atmosphere.

Accommodation:   Some hotels, studios and apartments.

Restaurants:   Only a couple of restaurants.

Shopping:   Very limited: Kalathas only has one (good) mini-market.

Nightlife:   None

Beach:   Very nice sandy beach with shallow water (great for children). It is popular with the locals and can get busy at the weekend.

Additional comments:   Some occasional airplane noise due to the proximity of the airport.
