Kalathas is situated on the Aktrotiri-Peninsula, 10 kilometres away from Chania, in the famous western part of Crete. Besides enjoying the beach and relaxing, you can go in for a lot of sports, and also make a many excursions, for example to the Lybian Coast, interesting towns and mountain villages, to famous ancient places (Knossos!) and excavations, the numerous gorges (Samaria!) and the mountains. From a little walk up to mountain climbing everything is possible - in the western part of Crete there are more than 20 summits higher than 2.000 metres! Many of the excursions you can do with very cheap public busses, for some it is better to rent a small car. Because Crete is an Island, you can also go for a lot of ship excursions, by sailing boats, glass-bottom boats or sightseeing boots. You will see, one holiday is not enough to enjoy only half of the most beautiful and interesting things in Crete!
