Agia Marina is one of the main tourist resorts in the region of Chania, an established popular and busy resort just 7 miles from Chania; it caters mainly for the package holiday market and lacks a certain Cretan atmosphere, but if an action-packed holiday's your kind of thing, then put it on top of your list.

The first good news is the beach. A mile-long sweep of silky yellow sands and crystal clear waters with beach bars, tavernas and water-sports at every few paces, perfect for spending the whole day by the sea working on your tan.

Agia Marina in Chania has a lively town centre; it overflows with local and international eateries so you can switch between traditional Greek food to international cuisine whenever your taste buds tell you, as dusk breaks the pace quickens as an array of nightspots, bars and clubs unite to keep you up late into the night.

If you fancy some typical Cretan experience, then stroll up to Aghia’s old hillside village, where you’ll be greeted by its friendly and hospitable people, enjoy a coffee in the kafenio (traditional coffee bar) or eat in one of the local tavernas serving up delicious mezes and authentic home-cooked dishes.

Holidays in Aghia Marina are ideal for those looking for a beach holiday with everything at hand; with the added advantage of easy access to other resorts on the North West coast namely Platanias.  Enjoy a wonderful holiday in Chania Crete.
