Local activities in and around Kolimbari, Crete
The countryside in this part of Crete is a walkers and bird watchers paradise; a visit in the spring is a must if you want to see the flowers in bloom. Astratigos nestles between Afrata and Rodopos, about 30kms west of Chania. Whilst there are no tavernas or shops in Astratigos, the owner offers his guests the opportunity to order home cooked food, from Monday to Thursday and to have this delivered straight to your villa. There are four tavernas in Afrata and three in Rodopos, each about 15 to 20 minutes walk from our accommodation.
The nearest beach is at Afrata where you will find a delightful little cove with a pebble beach and crystal clear water perfect for swimming and snorkelling. There is a small cantina on the beach serving good food and cold drinks. There are plenty of other beaches to be explored only a short drive away. In Kolimbari there is a harbour and the makings of a small marina, a long beach, tourist shops, an “Inka” supermarket, a bank, a post office and some very good tavernas. The 16th century monastery of Gonias is on the outskirts of Kolimbari.
