Chania, Greece
Kalathas Beach

A quiet and wide strip of fine golden sand with shallow ombré coloured waters, enclosed by mountains.

Situated further from the city-centre, Kalathas Beach is a charming spot that is not congested with beach-goers. With shallow waters and soft fluffy sand, this child-friendly beach is ideal for families looking for a day out with their children. At Kalathas Beach, it is not just the usual serving of swimming and soaking in the sunshine. Instead, you can also opt to rent a kayak or paddleboat and enjoy a ride out in the open seas. With a beach bar and tavern nearby, you can also savour delicious local food and sip on cold beer or a child-friendly milkshake as you enjoy the view.


For the adventurous, there is a small islet opposite the beach easily accessible by swimming. There, you can try your hand at snorkelling or diving in the clear blue waters. Kalathas Beach also has a much-smaller bay secluded from the main bay by a rocky outcropping, perfect for those who absolutely detest crowds. With a plethora of features to suit different needs, it would be a serious waste to miss out on Kalathas Beach.
