About the Beach

Kalathas Beach is a family-friendly and well-organized coastal area located on the west coast of the Akrotiri peninsula near Chania featuring a landscape of fine golden sand and very shallow crystalline waters that make it exceptionally safe for young children in an environment that is defined by a small picturesque islet situated just two hundred meters from the shore which visitors can easily reach by swimming or paddling while the beach is well-served by traditional canteens and water sports facilities that provide a social yet relaxed atmosphere within a sheltered bay that remains largely popular with local residents who appreciate its clean Blue Flag waters and its proximity to the city of Chania.
