Kolymbari in Crete

Kolymbari is a small fishing port between Chania and Kissamos, set between the sea and the cliffs at the foot of the Rodopou Penninsula. The village offers a long pebbly beach and seafront promenade lined with inviting traditional tavernas, shops and waterfront cafes. Here you can also see the fascinating Odigitrias Gonias Monastery with its remarkable icons.
