Situated 23km west of Chania, ideally located on a picturesque bay with “untouched” beauty, Kolymvari is a one-of-a-kind place in Crete that will transform your holiday into the relaxing experience of a lifetime. With roots dating back to the Minoan period, Kolymvari has always been and still remains a small town following the zealous resistance of its residents in converting it into an urban city. Commercial activities, growth and progress harmoniously co-exist with traditional activities such as fishing in the small traditional village harbour. One kilometer west of Kolymvari is the historic monastery of Gonia and the Orthodox Academy of Crete, while the airport of Chania lies at 39km distance.
