The gorgeous village of Kounopidiana is only 1.5 km far and boasts a selection of traditional Greek tavernas, lively bars and local shops. The whole North coast of Crete is a succession of incredible beaches with crystal clear waters, where you can relax on comfortable sunbeds, find shelter under very handy parasols or join an array of exciting watersport activities. Elafonissi and Falasarna beaches, Tersanas, Kalatha, Macherida, Stavros, Marathi and Seitan Limania are just a few options, all within a 20 minutes drive! A visit to the ancient city of Chania, which also hosts an airport, is highly recommended. The city has seen many civilisations come and go over thousands of years of settlement, from Minoans to Romans, Byzantine to Ottoman, and this rich history has carved out a unique and mysterious town. Restaurants, museums, churches and craft shops centre can be found around the gorgeous Venetian harbour, which represents a window into the past Turkish and Venetian architecture that has otherwise largely been destroyed by war. Watching the sunset past the old lighthouse is a truly unmissable experience, but the area offers a different picturesque aesthetic at any time of day. Be sure to sample the fresh fish they pull in from the harbour each day, or even take a boat out and do some fishing or snorkelling yourself! Along with the above sightseeing opportunities, keep in mind that the Akrotiri Peninsula has a number of unique archaeological sites which are certainly worth a visit. Explore the caves of Stavros, Arkalospilio and Arkaudospilius, and discover the fascinating history lying behind the Gouverneto and Saint John the Hermit monasteries.
