Trips to Nea Kydonia

Kato Stalos is located on the northwest part of Crete, Greece, just a few kilometers west of Chania. This coastal village attracts not only tourists from around the world but also locals who want to enjoy sunny weather with temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. Here, you have the opportunity to relax on the white sandy beach and swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.

Kato Stalos is a small and tranquil resort, ideal for families and couples on holiday. The beach boasts fine sand, is broad, and has shallow waters, making it perfect for children to play and enjoy various activities. Meanwhile, parents can take time for themselves or each other. The sea invites you to try multiple watersports such as surfing, windsurfing, and waterskiing. The underwater scenery is stunning, with vibrant corals and fish, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling and diving.

In the center of the village, you'll find a few unique and charming shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars. There are also several tavernas to explore. While the selection might be sufficient for most visitors, those seeking more variety, liveliness, and activity can easily visit nearby towns. However, if you prefer tranquility and beautiful beach surroundings, Kato Stalos has plenty to offer.

Nearby Chania, Crete's second-largest city, is great for day trips. This city provides a vast selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, and bars. From late nights to early mornings, there is an active nightlife in the city's central nightclubs. If you head west from Kato Stalos, you'll reach Platanias, a popular resort town with a bustling atmosphere. Its sandy beach is similar to Kato Stalos but features several breakwaters along the coast to manage the larger waves, making it a favorite spot even for younger swimmers.

For an authentic Greek countryside experience, a short journey inland is recommended. The surroundings of Crete are beautiful, and visiting smaller villages such as Patellari, Loutraki, or Vrises feels like stepping back in time. These villages are surrounded by well-preserved old buildings and narrow, picturesque alleys.
