A small secluded bay on Akrotiri next to a knife shaped cape.

Macherida is a little sandy bay 14 km north east of Chania. The name comes from the knife shaped cape next to it (macheri means knife), or maybe from the wild gladiolus flowers that grow here.

The beach is secluded and unorganised, with clear water. It's a good escape from the busier beaches of Akrotiri. Bring water and shade.

The Chania area is the green heart of western Crete. Around the city, olive groves and orange orchards stretch towards the White Mountains, whose peaks stay snowy until late spring. The old town, with its Venetian harbour, the market hall and countless tavernas, is never far away, and the Akrotiri peninsula adds sandy beaches, old monasteries and the Venizelos graves. Food here is a highlight: try boureki (a bake of courgettes, potatoes and cheese), kalitsounia pies and fresh fish, with a glass of local raki to finish.

The west of Crete is the island at its most dramatic. Chania has the most beautiful Venetian old town on Crete, wrapped around a harbour with a lighthouse and a domed mosque. In the evening the narrow lanes of Splantzia and the old Jewish quarter fill up with tavernas and small bars. Περισσότερα για Χανιά
