Agioi Apostoli

Agioi Apostoli, Sandy beach and settlement in Chania Municipality, Greece.

Agioi Apostoli is a waterfront village on the northern coast of Crete, 4 km from the centre of Chania, named after a small church, Agioi Apostoloi. Its three beaches each sit in their own small bay: Chrissi Akti ("Golden Beach"), named for the gold colour of its sand, a horseshoe-shaped sandy cove 500 metres long and 50 metres wide, and the smallest beach in the municipality at 300 metres long and 20 metres wide. The second and third beaches are reached by wooden boards and ramps and both hold Blue Flag status.

A church dedicated to the Holy Apostles gave the settlement its name and has marked this stretch of coast for generations. Over time, a small community grew around this religious landmark, shifting from simple fishing to the mixed life of fishermen and tourists seen today.

The settlement is named after the small church of Agioi Apostoloi ("Saint Apostles") standing in the village by the water, not on a hill. Each summer the village holds a sardine feast where locals and visitors eat grilled sardines, drink raki or tsikoudia and listen to traditional Cretan music.

The different bays are linked by walking paths, so it is easy to move between them without a vehicle. Showers and changing facilities are available at the beaches, and restaurants and cafes can be found within a short walk through the settlement.

Two ramp systems installed at the beach allow people with limited mobility to enter the water on their own. This type of access feature is still uncommon at Greek beaches, which makes this spot one of the few in the region where it exists.
