The small village of Kalyves is located about 21 km east of Chania and features a beautiful beach perfect for swimming. Equally clean waters and sandy or pebbly beaches can be found in the nearby settlements of Almyrida and Plaka. In the nearby seaside village of Kalami, there is a lovely sandy beach with shallow waters, ideal for those who are not strong swimmers. These beaches are not heavily developed, which makes them popular among visitors looking to avoid crowded tourist spots.
