ALMIRIDA IN CRETE
Almirida is a small village with 2 shallow beaches (not big, but nice, and there are more beaches within walking distance) located in the bay of Souda, about 25 km west of Chania. It's still sort of quiet, with some waterside taverna's, a few bars and a couple of hotels. Some of the houses are standing in the water of the sea, making it look like a tiny Venice. I thought this village was very relaxed and looked really good in it's pretty bay. In Almirida you can also find the remains of an early Christian basilica, with mozaiks and some fallen down pillars.
There is plenty of choice for taverna's and hotels and most of the visitors seem to be English (often with children). In this area lots of new houses have been build. In front of the beach there is a cute island in the sea.
