Aghioi Apostoloi

Basically a cluster of three small and sheltered bays separated by rocky outcrops: they have sand, blue-green waters and plenty of vegetation all around. The name, the Holy Apostles, comes from a church near there.

The beach is popular: well-organized, as well as the umbrellas, sunbeds and showers – and a lifeguard, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to water-sports, not to mention a tennis court, volley-ball and football.

A feature here are the beach bars, where you can enjoy a drink. Naturally a large number of hotels, apartments and rooms to rent are available, along with a plethora of tavernas, restaurants and bars.

Bypassing Chania town and a number of beaches on both of its flanks, on the northwest side of the Akrotiri Peninsular we come to Stavros.
