Beaches in Chania

Anidri beach

Everyone seems to know these beaches as the Anidri beaches, although correct name is Gialiskari, and that is what the sign near the beach says. On the way to Gialsikari there is also an unofficial sign saying Anidri Beaches with Taverna. Anidri is the village to the north of this beach. From there you can reach this beach by walking down through the riverbed. Of course most visitors use the dirt track from Paleochora.

.
The most easterly beach of the Gialiskari Beaches is Anidri. Anidri is a sandy beach blown up into a dune, with a bowl of shrubs and bushes behind giving shade, then a backdrop of the same cliffs. The ten yards before the sea are fine (0.5 - 1cm) shingle, which is ideal for swimming. The water shelves steeply to more than 2m about 5m out, but this did not pose problems for average swimmers. A swimming 'length' is about 200m, although the beach being curved is longer than this. There is a current which flows out of the ends of the beach when waves are driving on to it. (it is easy to drift out when about 100m off shore at the end of the beach).

At the western side of Paleochora can find Grammeno beach, Karavopetra Beach, Pachia ammos and Krios
