Koum Kapi Beach is located in the eponymous seaside district, just outside the eastern walls of Chania’s old town. About one kilometer long, the sandy beach is popular for walks, dining, and drinks, attracting thousands of visitors every year. It lies east of the harbor’s main promenade and offers beautiful views of the sea and the Venetian harbor.
Although it used to be the most popular beach for swimming, due to sea pollution, swimming was prohibited a few years ago. Nevertheless, the area remains an important destination for leisurely strolls, cafés, and culinary delights, forming a lively part of Chania’s coastal life.
