Getting there: Kalives
is located about 20 km east of Chania. There is frequent public transport
along the national road but the bus will let you off about 1 km away
from the village. If you don't want to walk there are also several
buses a day from the centre of the village to Chania.
Atmosphere: There
can be a lot of tourists in summer and it is a big village all year
around but it remains a fairly quiet place.
Accommodation: A
good choice from hotels and rooms to self-catering studios and apartments.
Restaurants: The
village has a number of restaurants and eating places.
Shopping: Because
of the recent building boom in the region of Apokoronas Kalives has
become affluent and many many shops have opened to cater to the needs
of new (mainly British) house owners. Nowadays you ccan find almost
everything in Kalives.
Nightlife: There
are a few
bars and there might be a disco running in the summer.
Beach: Several
sandy beaches. The western beach is very quiet (although there are
some new hotels being built there so it might change) and about one
km away from the village. The eastern beach is in the village so
gets more crowded.
