Top attractions
Almyrida is a wonderful little resort on Crete’s northern coast, which combines plenty of authentic Greek charm with a good choice of shops, restaurants and facilities. It has two Blue Flag beaches, with transparent, shallow waters, and plenty of facilities for water sports. Although small, it has plenty of shops, cafés, restaurants and bars - all you need for an enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Almyrida makes a great base for exploring the tiny hamlets dotted across the hills inland, whether you do it by foot or by car. You shouldn’t miss out on Crete’s beautiful historic capital of Chania, which is just 14 miles away, and has a charming Venetian harbour, plus bags of shops, bars and restaurants.

Beaches
There are two main beaches in Almyrida, both of which are sandy, pristine and well equipped. The sands shelve gently into crystal clear waters, making them ideal even for the youngest children. You can rent out kayaks, catamarans or paddle boards to explore the beautiful bay, or even paddle out to the tiny islet of Karga, now a refuge for wild birds. There is also some amazing diving near Almyrida, and local diving schools can arrange courses and excursions. One of the best is to the subterranean ‘Elephant Cave’ nearby – discovered only in 2000, this cave is named for the numerous prehistoric elephant bones found here.
