Chrissi Akti

Chrissi Akti, also known as Golden Beach, is within walking distance of Chania on the western part of Crete.

Chrissi Akti is not a town like Agii Apostoli or Kato Daratso, which have shops and taverns. While there are several accommodation options in the Chrissi Akti area, there aren’t many taverns nearby, likely because Chania is so close.

There are two beaches in the Chrissi Akti area, separated by some rocks. The Golden Beach faces towards Chania and is a lovely shallow sandy beach. The other beach, Aptera, is located in a small bay. Both beaches provide a safe environment for children to play.

Chrissi Akti is an ideal choice for families with children, as the water is generally shallow, and there are opportunities for various water sports. Lifeguards are also present on the beaches during the high season.

If you are looking for a beach with a relaxed atmosphere that is still close to city life, Chrissi Akti is an excellent choice. However, since many locals visit the beach in their free time, it can sometimes get quite crowded.
