Almyrida, Seaside resort in Apokoronas Municipality, Greece.

Almyrida is a coastal settlement on northern Crete with a sandy beach that curves along a sheltered bay surrounded by small hotels, tavernas, and local shops.The village spreads loosely between the shoreline and the low hills behind it, maintaining a spacious feel with buildings set back from the water.

Almyrida was officially recognised as a settlement in 1925 and attached to the community of Plaka in Chania prefecture. In 1997 it was detached from Plaka and assigned to the municipality of Vamos, then in 2010 transferred to the municipality of Apokoronas under the Kallikratis programme. Its harbour still berths fishing and tourist boats.

The name Almyrida comes from the Greek word for salt, almyra, a reference to the saltiness of its shore. The village's small harbour still berths fishing boats alongside tourist craft, and the beach west of the settlement is known as Kera. The 6th-century early Christian basilica with its mosaic floor lies among the sights of the village.

Almyrida sits at the mouth of Souda Bay, between Plaka and Kalyves, about 28 km east of Chania and roughly 20 km from the city by the coastal road. The village beach and the beach of Kera, just west of the settlement, both lie within easy walking distance of the seafront hotels and rooms.
