Getting there: 75 km from
Chania on a scenic winding road. One or two buses a day.
Atmosphere: Sougia
is an extremely relaxed and relaxing place.
Accommodation: Plenty
of good accommodation but it can get full up at times.
Restaurants: Several
good restaurants.
Shopping: Minimal
but it will cover basic needs.
Activities: Some very
good walks are possible in the area.
Nightlife: A couple
of bars and a discotheque (only in summer) on the outside of the
village.
Beach: A very long
beach (long enough that it never feels crowded even in high season)
which varies between coarse and very fine pebbles. About one third
of the beach is clothing optional. One of the few beaches in West
Crete still without sun beds and umbrellas.
