Meltemaki beach

We can always feel, like we are explorers – In West Crete.

The adventurous landscape hides small secrets: a small bay, a small waterfall, a fjord… – all in places, where You wouldn’t even think of it.

The entanglement between the wonderful nature and human creations is atmospheric.

Souda merges, with Chania: the international port of Chania is located in this part.

Along the road, we can see multi-storey hotel ships, which meet all needs, giant cargo ships, lots of containers, and huge cranes.

We would think, that next to such an industrial part, we would not find anything interesting. But this is a big mistake.

[swpm_protected format_protected_msg=”1″] Only two kilometers from the port entrance, along Souda Bay, there is the Meltemaki beach and the Meltemaki restaurant and beach bar.

A quiet place at the base of the big city: a long sandy beach. It is surprising, that it is not crowded even in summer. One of the reasons for this is, that the coastline is large. [/swpm_protected]

To the right, many umbrellas and sunbeds can be rented. This part of the beach is more crowded. To the left, a very calm, seemingly untouched stretch of coast awaits those, who want to relax.

[swpm_protected format_protected_msg=”1″] The Meltemaki restaurant and beach bar offers traditional Greek and Mediterranean dishes, based on ancient Cretan recipes, always using fresh ingredients. The sardines are very tasty, with a Greek salad, or for gourmets we recommend seafood. The excellent Cretan wines make lunch or dinner more complete. [/swpm_protected]
