Almeritha Holiday Travel Guide
The village of Almeritha is a tiny little fishing hamlet
situated just 40 minutes drive from the town of Chania. The village is situated
on the coat, with gently shelving sandy beaches and a small fishing harbour. The
village is backed by olive and orange groves and the area is so untouched and charming
that it was used for the filming of part of of “Zorba the Greek”.
There isn't much to do in the village but sit and relax in the select few bars and Tavernas. The are a scattering of local gift shops and souvenir stalls where you can pick up local produce like wines, olive oil and the famous Cretan honey.
Although the village is starting to get more tourists visiting it year on year, it has still retained that charm of a little fishing village and the locals still rely on the land and sea for their main income.
What to do in Almeritha?
You can settle in at the local Tavernas and watch the world
go by, the restaurants her offer up some of the best Greek food you will ever try,
with fish freshly caught on the day served up in Greek recipes. The prices are as
low as you would expect, and always look to eat in the Tavernas that the locals frequent
for the best food.
The bar owners in Almeritha will welcome you with open arms and
you will find yourself returning night after night, to chat about Crete, local stories
and world news. The longer you visit a bar in Almeritha means the more extra shots
you get given to you, or the occasional free beer, this is Cretan hospitality at
its best.
Because the village was not built for tourists, there isn't much to do apart from
sunbathe and a little shopping so make sure you hire a car or bike and get exploring
the wonderful countryside.
If you want something more then you can always visit the
town of Chania, and get some great shopping bargains, or spend the night in its many
small clubs, bars and water front cafes.
