Nestled between the gentle slopes of the Rodopos Peninsula and the sparkling north coast of western Crete lies the charming coastal village of Kolymbari – a place where traditional Cretan lifestyle meets soothing tranquillity and impressive nature. Just 24 kilometres west of the lively old town of Chania and 12 kilometres from the well-known resort of Platanias, Kolymbari offers a harmonious blend of seclusion and easy accessibility.

The region is characterised by ancient olive groves, turquoise waters and the intense scent of Mediterranean vegetation. Despite growing interest from upmarket tourism, Kolymbari has retained its authenticity. Taverns serving freshly caught fish, small cafés by the water and the daily life of the locals define the authentic character of the village.

Three of the most beautiful beaches in western Crete are in the immediate vicinity: - Afrata Beach – a quiet bay with crystal-clear water, ideal for snorkelling - Falassarna Beach – multiple award-winning, known for its vastness and spectacular sunsets - Balos Lagoon – a natural paradise with Caribbean-like colours, ideal for discovering on a boat trip from the port of Kissamos

Just a few minutes away is the Orthodox monastery of Gonia, an impressive 17th-century building with an adjoining museum. The Rodopos peninsula itself is also ideal for hiking through unspoilt countryside, with views of the Aegean Sea, small churches and ancient ruins.

The region spoils visitors with culinary delights such as dakos, stuffed vine leaves, Cretan graviera cheese and locally produced olive oil. In the tavernas of Kolymbari – including popular addresses such as Palio Arhontiko and Argentina – you can experience the warm hospitality and authentic flavours of Cretan cuisine.

Supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies and a weekly market with fresh regional products are available for your daily needs. Active guests can enjoy the coastal promenade for jogging, the hilly hinterland for cycling or nearby hiking trails along old mule tracks. Important distances: - Chania Airport (CHQ): approx. 40 minutes by car
- Port of Souda (ferries to Athens): approx. 35 minutes by car - Chania General Hospital: approx. 30 minutes Kolymbari is the ideal location for anyone seeking a Mediterranean lifestyle away from mass tourism – whether as a holiday home, retirement residence or investment property in Crete with sea views.
