Golden Beach

Golden Beach is situated just 2 to 2.5 kilometers west of the charming town of Chania in Crete, Greece. Its name derives from the stunning golden hue of its sand. This beach is highly popular due to its proximity to Chania and its array of amenities. The main beach is well-organized, boasting sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, and a vigilant lifeguard.

Golden Beach comprises two distinct sections separated by a large rock. The main beach, known for its bustling atmosphere, stretches for approximately 500 meters. Towards the east lies Aptera Beach, a quieter and more secluded spot ideal for those seeking more relaxed scene. Families with children particularly appreciate Golden Beach for its clear and shallow waters, providing a safe environment for little ones to splash and play. A well-equipped playground adds to the family-friendly atmosphere. Traveling to Golden Beach is convenient, with free parking available along the beach for those arriving by car. Public buses also provide access to the area.
