Located within walking distance of Chania, Chrissi 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.
Find accommodation in Agii Apostoli
Restaurants: Not
many restaurants, probably because Chania is so close by.
Shopping: There are a few large shops nearby (Inka supermarkets, Lidl) otherwise the town centre is not too far
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 gets crowded,
especially at the weekend because the beaches are very popular with the locals (close to town)
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.
