Agii Apostoli beaches

 

Agii Apostoli beaches, just like Chryssi Akti are the local beaches of Chania as they're both really nice sandy beaches within a short driving distance of town. Agii Apostoli (the name is derived from the church of the Holy Apostles located on the promontory) consists of two sandy coves. Additionally, a little to the West there is the longer but narrower beach of Glaros which goes all the way to Kalamaki. The area is quite green with pine trees and popular for walkers and runners.
