Norwegian, born in 1963. Married, 2 children, 3 grandchildren. Love Greece in general, Crete in particular. My hobbies are skiing, bicycling, hiking and cooking. After traveling around the world all our life, my wife and I found this place and we fell in love immediately. The beautiful surroundings give peace to mind and the property is big enough for all our beloved children and grandchildren.

Akrotiri is the large circular peninsula extending northeast of the city of Chania. Among the rocky cliffs of the peninsula, there are some remarkable beaches and some important, historical and religious sites, worth visiting. The feature with most beaches on Akrotiri peninsula is that, although is located in the northern part of Crete, they aren't affected by the winds, as is the case for other beaches on the north coast. Therefore, have in mind these beaches, when you want to go to a beach where you'll definitely find a calm sea.
