Presentazione generale
Chania and western Crete
Spectacular Cretan west, between old Venetian port, gorges, beaches of Elafonissi and Balos, villages and white mountains.
To understand what Cania and Western Crete is, you have to look at Chania, Balos and Elafonissi. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, mountain reliefs and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: slow roads and saturated beaches in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Remarkable location
Anticythère
Anticythère between Crete and Cythera, on a sea route known for the wreckage that delivered the famous ancient mechanism. The island remains isolated, dry and very sparsely populated; visitors mainly find coves, trails, migratory birds and a strong sense of end of the world.
Town or village
La Canée
La Canée It brings together an old Venetian port, Ottoman facades, arsenals and alleyways where the workshops sit alongside the taverns. It is a living base for the Cretan west, between departures to the gorges, lagoon beaches and villages of the White Mountains.
Town or village
Balos
Balos mixes shallow lagoon, light sand, rocks and waters that pass from turquoise to dense blue depending on the light. The site joins by boat or by track and then walks, with a strong attendance in the middle of the season but a maritime decor difficult to confuse.
Town or village
Elafonissi
Elafonissi is a Cretan western lagoon beach, known for its low waters, sandbanks and rosy reflections in places. The wind, light and passages to the neighbouring island change the atmosphere over the day, away from a simple straight beach.
