Agii Apostoli and Krissi Akti

Agii Apostoli

 

Located within walking distance of Chania, Krissi Akti (also known as Golden Beach) and Agii Apostoli are popular with locals and can get busy in summer especially at weekends.

Getting there:  Located very close to Chania with easy access on foot, by public bus, taxi and car.

Atmosphere:   There is plenty of accommodation for tourists in Krissi Akti but they remain fairly quiet places and are away from the coastal road (as opposed to Stalos, Agia Marina, Platanias which have developed along the road)

Accommodation:   A lot of the accommodation is handled by tour operators.

Restaurants:   Not many restaurants, probably because Chania is so close by.

Shopping:   Limited but Chania is nearby

Nightlife:   You will need to go to Chania.

Beach:    Very nice sandy beaches. The water is shallow so it is safe for children. One of the beaches has a play area for children. It can get crowded, especially at the weekend because the beaches are popular with the inhabitants of Chania.

Additional comment :   A good base if you want to be close to town without being in it. Also excellent if you have small children because the beaches are safer than most beaches on the northwest coast.
