Beaches in Chania

Tripiti BeachTripiti beach is a very small beach between Domata beach to east and Sougia Village to west and is the end point from the famous Tripiti Gorge who starts in Omalos Plateau. If you go by boat you may land in Tripiti in one of two places: if the sea is very still the boat will land you right at the entrance of the Tripiti Gorge where the beach is.

If there are any waves, even small ones the boat will have to land a little further east (see the map below). In this case make your way along the coast to the beach. You have to clamber a little on rocks but will see some markings that you can follow. It takes about 10 minutes to the entrance of the gorge and to the beach of Tripiti. You will see in the gorge and close to the coast two houses, a small chapel and next to it a cistern.

It is a beautiful coastal walk leading from Sougia to the steep hill that you can see to the East of Sougia and to Tripiti area. The walk is on a fairly good path with plenty of shade but it is quite long (4 hours) so going there and back in one day can be very tiring. An easier option is to find someone in Sougia who can take you by boat to Tripiti and return on foot to Sougia. Ask in the village the day before you plan to go to see if you can arrange this.

The route from Sougia to Agia Roumeli is reasonably well waymarked with E4 signs and cairns, but is a difficult 1 or 2-day walk (total 12 hours), and water can be a problem. March and April is maybe the best season and not too hot, and there is water at the bottom of Tripiti Gorge.
