Almyrida Beach Hotel

Almyrida Beach Hotel is a beachfront hotel at the centre of Almyrida, a fishing village on the Apokoronas coast of the Chania region, on the Greek island of Crete. The hotel stands steps from the sand and the village tavernas, on a long sandy beach with shallow, sheltered water that makes it popular with families. Almyrida lies about 25 kilometres east of Chania town and a few kilometres from Kalyves, with the Old Town and Venetian harbour around 30 minutes by road and Chania International Airport about 35 minutes away. Within a short drive are the Apokoronas villages of Vamos and Gavalohori, the beach resort of Georgioupoli and Lake Kournas, the island's only freshwater lake. The hotel is placed in the mid-range category, with indicative high-season rates of EUR 85 to 170 per night. Accommodation is offered as double rooms, family rooms and suites, and the listed amenities include a swimming pool, beach access, a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The central position means that the village seafront, with its tavernas, cafes and small shops, is on the doorstep, and guests can alternate between the pool and the beach. The on-site restaurant and bar serve guests, and nearby tavernas offer grilled fish, octopus, Cretan salads, stuffed vegetables and local raki at village prices. Service is that of a seasonal family beach hotel, with staff who can usually advise on car hire and excursions to the Old Town, Rethymno, Elafonisi, Balos and the Samaria Gorge, plus local wine and olive oil tastings in Apokoronas. Almyrida is quieter than the resort strips west of Chania, but a central beachfront position can bring some evening noise from nearby venues in peak season. Visitors relying on public transport should note that evening buses to Chania are limited. Room types, meal plans and the opening season should be confirmed before booking.
