General information

Chrissi Akti (Golden Beach) has got its name from the incredible color of its sand. It is one of the closest beaches to the town of Chania (just 2.5 km) and it actually consists of two beaches separated by an outcrop.

The main beach is well-organized, with sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and a lifeguard. It also offers water sports facilities. Its clear and shallow waters are particularly safe for children, and there is a well-equipped playground for children too. Beside it, there is a lush pine tree grove, where you can take a leisurely walk.

To the east of the main beach lies the more secluded Aptera Beach, which is also organized.

    Pure sandy and crowded
    Golden Beach is a pure sandy beach to go on foot from Chania, that is why it usually gets very crowded. Lots of umbrellas and sun beds, many fish restaurants and hotels, but the sea is amazing, so warm and clean. It is a great beach to start exploring the coasts of Chania. Also better go eraly in the morning or at about sunset, when there will not be many people.
