Feel the wind tousling your hair, the water splashing at your feet and the salt in the air at Kalathas Beach. Stay and watch the sun set to cap off the ideal day out.

When you've spent some time at this stretch of coastline in Akrotiri, why not check out Chania Lighthouse, Nea Chora Beach, and Old Venetian Harbor? They're not very far from Kalathas Beach and also a favorite with many tourists.

Our destination wedding was held on the island of #crete #greece in #chania, which is the Western side of the island. We had a total of 30 guests from 9 different countries all over the world, so to make it special, we created a week of wedding festivities rather than only one day! We had an activity day with all of the guests where we chartered a private bus to show us some of the great attractions and hidden gems of Chania. One of our stops was at Stavros Beach where Zorba the Greek was filmed! We had some traditional Greek mezethes
