Akrotiri reaches into the sea east of Chania. The peninsula has rocky coasts, olive groves, gorges and small bays, yet the town and the airport are close. At the villa you hear cicadas and see crag martins on the slopes of the gorge.
The nearest beach is the small sandy beach of Agios Onoufrios, about five minutes by car. The water is usually calm, and the beach suits families well. Walking trails nearby lead through gorges with views over the coast.
Chania is about 15 minutes away. The Old Town lies around the Venetian harbour, with narrow lanes, museums, workshops and many tavernas serving Cretan food.
With the airport and the ferry port close by, the villa is a good base for day trips to the west of the island, for example to Balos Lagoon or the Samaria Gorge.
Chania airport (CHQ) is about 15 minutes from the villa. You can rent a car at the airport. On request we help with your transfer and book a taxi by arrangement.
