LOCATION:
Almirida is only a short drive from the ancient town of Chania. The Village is an ideal location for visits to Lake Kournas, The White Mountains, Souda Bay and the Samaria Gorge. Taking a short walk along the sea front road at Almirida towards Plaka and you come to the Olive Groves - just outside the 'village plan' Here is located Tara's House with its swimming pool. The property is surrounded by Olive, Lemon and Orange Trees and is in a very secluded location, yet, not far away from Supermarkets / Tavernas and the sandy Almirida Beach where you will find horse-riding /swimming/wind surfing etc. There is a larger supermarket at nearby Kalives.
