Koum Kapi
Koum Kapi or door of sand, is the eastern part of the city of Chania, just outside the walls of the historic center. Koum Kapi is a charming neighborhood full of bars and restaurants, ideal for couples and families. The area of Koum Kapi has the privilege of providing the closest swimmable beach in Chania City. It is at a walking distance from the Chania Center, Chania Old City, the Venetian Port and all the other Chania city sights. Along the beach there are many high quality cafeterias and restaurants with local cuisine that are open every day from early in the morning until late in the night overlooking the endless blue of the Cretan Sea. Its history, promenade along the sea, its bathing beach and the beautiful view that you can admire make this place unique. So, think about Koum Kapi as an additional place for a stroll just outside the old town of Chania, and a couple of hundred meters away of the old harbour of Chania.
