“ Went to the beach they administer and is a wonderful option if you're looking for a close one, not crowded, not commercial with loud music spot close to Chania town. Walking distance close to town. Ps: after a red flag day with high winds and waves all the small rocks and pebbles from the beach you will find in the water the next day bring your water shoes just to be on the safe side. Prices in mid September are 10eur for 2 sun loungers and umbrella on the beach, and only 6eur on a red flag day when you can't go into the sea. ”
“ UPDATE 8/7/2024 - Aptera CLOSED, beautiful beach is still here of course —— Very good place, clean beach, reasonable prices (compared to other similar but more luxury resorts), relatively quiet place, kind staff, meal perfect, above Greek standards clean toilets (!). Recommended, don't go to city beach in Chania go there! Suggestion for improvements: Some topless girls/ladies for making this place hotter but can be individual, sure. ”
“ Amazing place! I tried all the salads and almost the whole breakfast menu and everything is fresh and made with care and love. All the staff is very friendly and helpful! The Avocado salad is a must as well as the Viennese baguette :) ”
“ Great beach bar! Beautiful and a very relaxing vibe, in a shade with a little breeze, and a view to the beach. The food is delicious and pretty. Minuses: a bit slow service, yet friendly and nice. Could add oat milk as a substitute for cow’s milk for coffees. I’ve had bruschetta and mushroom risotto, both were very flavorful. ”
“ It is a nice sandy beach close to Chania. It has a fancy place to listen to music and have something to drink and they rent out fancy sunbeds I think the first row close to the water is 20 euro, then 15, and 10. You can always just bring your towel for free. I try and stay away from the music because it is very annoying same and same all day. ”
