Vlites Beach: A Peaceful Escape
Vlites Beach is nestled in the cove of the expansive Souda Bay, granting it calm and peaceful shallow waters most of the time. This long sandy beach is surrounded by lush greenery, offering a tranquil and secluded ambiance despite its proximity to Chania city and Souda port. With picturesque views of Souda Bay, the beach is situated between the river Moroni's mouth and the Allied War Cemetery, where fallen allied soldiers from the Battle of Crete lie buried.
