My family (including toddler) and I are traveling to Crete this summer for one week and will be staying in the Almyrida/Kalyves area.

We’ve been to Greece many times but have never made it to Crete yet! Because we have the little one with us and it will be hotter than hell in July, we’re limited to an hour-ish of driving to any location. We’d like to make it to a beach other than Almyrida at least once if possible.

Thank you in advance for opinions on the preliminary list below and any additional recommendations. Extra points for any authentic food or farm experiences or as my sister is a chef…

-Aptera Ruins

-Gavalochori Village

-Chania harbor

-Saint George Monastery
