Seitan Limania
Σεϊτάν Λιμάνια
A small beach hidden deep in an inlet on the Akrotiri Peninsula, with bright blue water between steep cliffs. It is Chania's most Instagram-worthy hidden beach.
Seitan Limania, meaning 'Devil's Harbour', is made up of three narrow inlets. The middle one is the most visited. Its beach is very small, and at midday in peak season there is barely room to stand. From the roadside car park, follow a steep gravel path downhill for about 10 minutes. Non-slip shoes are required, and the path is not suitable for the elderly or young children. The beach has no facilities or shade, so bring your own water and food. It is best to arrive before 9 a.m. or come in the evening. The beach is about 22 km from Chania and can only be reached by car.
