ne of the most important cities of ancient (7th c. B.C.) western Crete. Aptera was built on a site 15 km. from Chania, south of Souda bay, near the village of Megala Horafia, which had a view of the whole plain of Chania.
The city walls still standing today are reminiscent of the Cyclopean walls of Tiryns and Mycenae. One can also see the remains of a small 1st c. B.C. temple of Demeter, a Roman theatre and the enormous vaulted cisterns of the Roman period – according to one source they were used for grain storage – preserved in excellent condition.

Everything Else
This exotic tiny beach with impeccable emerald waters is one of the best in the area of Chania and we all need to show respect so that it will be enjoyed as the exotic hideout it is.
It is surrounded by huge rocks, though they provide little shade.
As it is rather small, it can easily get overcrowded so try to avoid visiting at weekends and during the peak of the tourist season.
