Almyrida
Almyrida is a quaint seaside resort in the Apokoronas area. It is a peaceful and tranquil place with two sandy beaches and a pebble beach. The sandy beaches are organised offering umbrellas, sun beds and a shower. The beach and the sea are very clean. The sea is very shallow there so that smaller kids also can have a lot of fun in the water. A dive centre and a rental service for surf boards, kayaks, stand up paddling, catamarans and pedal boats are ready to boost your ocean experience.
On the beach road you will find more than 15 different tavernas and restaurants offering traditional dishes as well as international cuisine. From fine dining to take away – there is something for everyone. Most of the restaurants are located directly next to the sea and you can listen to the endless sound of the waves while dining.
Beside the restaurants you will find a good variety of shops, cafes, bakery, pharmacy and minimarkets offering everything you need for a perfect vacation. ATMs are available for your convenience.
If you would like to explore the island by car the local car rental services have cars, scooters and motorcycles for your use.
The nearest airport is Chania Airport at a distance of 30 km & takes 35 mins by car to the accommodation. Heraklion Airport is 130 km from Almyrida.
We are happy to organise, at your expense, a taxi transfer for you, from the airport to the villa. From Chania Airport it is approximately 45 to 70 EUR, from Heraklion Airport it is approximately 140 to 180 EUR. The price depends on the number of guests and luggage (car versus minivan). A party with four people including luggage can expect the above mentioned lower price.
