If you’re thinking of booking a stay with Crete Escapes, here are our top 5 reasons why a villa holiday near Almyrida beach will provide everything you need for an unforgettable getaway with your family, friends and loved ones.

 

 

1: Walk to Almyrida Beach from your villa

 

Almyrida beach is widely regarded as one of the standout beaches in Crete. Awarded Blue Flag status by the FFE (Foundation for Environmental Education), visitors can be sure of crystal clear waters, golden sands and a high standard of services and safety features.

 

Knowing that the beach is expertly maintained means you’ll be able to relax with peace of mind, especially if you’re travelling with small children. The kids will love paddling in the shallow sea, which is safe on calm days with low waves. There’s also no end of fun to be had exploring rockpools and building sandcastles.

 

At Crete Escapes we offer a fantastic selection of Villas in walking distance of Almyrida Beach, all with private pools.

 

 

2: Try your hand at a range of watersports

 

One of the best ways to explore the natural surroundings at Almyrida beach is to take to the water. Beach sports include pedal boat rental, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), catamaran, windsurfing and kayaking.

 

You’ll find something to suit most abilities, ranging from more extreme types of watersports, to the more gentle, recreational beach activities. Whichever way you choose to dive in, we hope you stay safe and – most importantly – have fun!

 

Following a day of fun-filled activities on the water you’ll probably want to unwind. One of the benefits of selecting a Crete beach villa close to Almyrida is the convenience of your own spacious accommodation and pool to return to and relax in private for the rest of the day.

 

3: Sightseeing and tourist attractions

 

Some days you might prefer to spend time venturing out and exploring the nearby area. Surrounding the village of Almyrida, the landscape is picturesque, and its attractions provide a fascinating culture fix. Very good bus and taxi travel links are available if your villa isn’t in walking distance.

 

Just 4 kilometres east of Alymrida is the small village of Kokkino Chorio, which is home to ancient wartime tunnels. Slightly further afield, the village of Therissos holds much cultural significance and appeal. Delve even deeper into the Cretan local heritage with a visit to the Museum of National Resistance and the Historic Folklore Museum.

 

The magnificent city of Chania can be reached in half an hour by car. This worthy destination provides more than enough interest to create a full itinerary for days trips from your holiday villa. Choose from shopping, historical shipyards, vineyards and the children can be kept entertained at the waterpark.

 

4: Cafes and restaurants

 

Although a holiday villa is perfect for self-catering, it’ll be difficult to resist the temptation to sample the delicious Cretan cuisine. A selection of restaurants and tavernas serving freshly prepared Greek and British food can be found along the stretch next to Almyrida beach.

 

Having the ability to create your own schedule is one of the main benefits of a villa holiday. However, if you choose to take a stroll for an evening meal, you’ll find the local area warm, welcoming and perfect for families.

 

5: Stunning beach views from your villa

 

Northern Crete boasts spectacular mountains and coastal views. Not only are some of our Villas in walking distance of Almyrida beach, but also include spectacular sea views from the property itself.

 

Occupying an elevated position means you’ve got unique access to some of the most magnificent scenery of the region. There’s nothing quite like having a view that stretches far and wide across the sea, with a beautiful sunset and a favourite tipple in hand!
