Kum Kapi: A Charming Beach by the Old Venetian Harbour

Nestled beside the Old City of Chania, overlooking the beach and the eastern coast, lies the distinctive district of Kum Kapi (also known as Koum Kapi). This charming area, situated slightly lower than the coastal pedestrian street, comes alive during the summer months, transforming into a vibrant hub. 

Amidst the lively atmosphere, you'll stumble upon Kum Kapi Beach, a small, unassuming stretch of sand with no parasols or beach loungers. 

This means it is free for all to use. With its shallow and invigorating waters, the beach attracts a youthful crowd who enjoy its laid-back ambiance. Alongside the beach, you'll find a variety of delightful cafés and tavernas, perfect for indulging in local treats while taking in the vibrant surroundings.
