Almyrida is in the Apokoronas area, at the entrance to Souda Bay, about 2 km after Κalyves and 22 km from Chania.
Almyrida is a seaside resort extending about 2 kilometres along the coast. The resort itself is quite small and touristy, with many hotels and apartments for rent.
Like neighbouring Kalyves, Almyrida has been very built up in recent years, due to strong Northern European interest in buying land and houses there.
On entering Almyrida you will see the coastal road running through the resort, parallel to the beach. The cafeterias and restaurants are clustered on the seaward side, while on the other side of the road there are many shops.
Almyrida is the ideal place in Crete for people who want to enjoy the sea in peace and quiet, far from the noise of the major tourist resorts.
If you feel like more excitement, you will find it at Georgioupoli, a few kilometres to the east.

Even if you’re not an expert windsurfer, you can try your luck, as you can rent a board on the beach and there are even windsurfing trainers here - mainly in the high tourist season.
The more daring can try the small single- or two-seater sailing boats for a trip to explore the sea caves along the rocky coast east of Almyrida.
