Experience Chania's incredible nature on foot with this guided walk to
Almyrida Beach. You'll start in the village of
Douliana in
Apokoronas, which is the eastern province of Chania. Enjoy natural and historical monuments as your guide shares stories about the area's unique history, geology, flora, and fauna.
From charming Douliana, the route takes you through landscapes of wildflowers, native plants, and leafy trees. Feel free to stop as much as you'd like to take photos, especially as you start to see snow-capped mountain peaks to the south. You'll stop at the
Church of Agios Ioannis. Covered with plants, the church is a peaceful and historical place for locals to congregate.
From here, you'll continue on your path with open views as you near the sea. Once you reach Almyrida, enjoy a refreshing swim. Your guide will take you to the village of
Fres for a traditional Cretan lunch at a local
kafeneio to finish your experience.
