Chania Nea Chora beach

General information

Nea Chora Beach is located west of the Venetian Walls of Chania Town. It’s the closest beach to the town center and is easily accessible, which makes it really popular among locals and vacationers.

Nea Chora is a charming, sandy, and partially rocky shore with shallow waters that are suitable for children. It is organized with sunbeds and umbrellas, and you can also find plenty of accommodation choices around. The area is famous for its fish taverns, where you can taste delicious fresh fish and seafood. Other restaurants, snack bars, and cafes can also be found on the seaside. If you’re looking for a place to stay, you can easily reside at a comfortable hotel of your liking.

Nearby, on the eastern side of the beach, lie the old soap factory and the old sanatorium. In addition, the Sardine Festival that takes place every summer at Nea Chora Beach is an unmissable experience! You will have the chance to enjoy some live traditional music, dance, and, of course, delicious fresh fish.
