Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This was easy to reach and find and not too many people there.
    There were two options, guided tour or self paced, we decided to go self paced as we wanted to read all the information.

    We learned a lot about bees and how honey is extracted historically and more modern methods.

    As it is free to tour and taste we decided to buy some fresh honey.

    The staff were friendly and attentive to help with any questions we had, and even gave recommendations based on their own preferences.

    The museum provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy and gain knowledge of the history and current conditions of traditional Greek musical instruments. You will get an unforgettable example of an experience museum involving your visual, sound, and tactile senses. Moreover, the owner will provide an extraordinary example of how a museum should combine digital and in-situ presentation of the history and folk traditions with tremendous enthusiasm for Greek music and musical instruments with personal stories, playing on and singing traditional Greek songs from various Greek regions. Thank you very much for such a personal experience of Greek culture, which took us to Greek folklore and traditional music spirit. This is a hot spot for all who would like to take a living touch of music in various Greek regions in one place.

    How often can you sit on the beach with a story-book castle as backdrop?

    The uniqueness of this beach was a good choice after a visit to Moni Preveli. There were plenty of chair sets available and only 6 EUR for the day – a true bargain.

    The beach is closer to white-sand (not black rocky sand) but not super white or soft. Water was clean, clear and very calm the day we went. This is not the most beautiful beach, but a good clean utility beach with all the amenities and probably a great beach for families.

    PS: Do not use the grim WCs in the parking lot by the castle – much better restrooms at the Taverna located on beach.

    Initially we were put off using this beach as when you walk towards it there is the obvious noise of a large generator which provides power for the beach bar.
    However, once you walk down the beach close to the water you can't hear it and once we had discovered this we spent a very pleasant afternoon on the beach.
    It's a pebble beach so less popular than the others close by and no children which was appreciated. The beach beds rental here is also cheaper than others nearby.
    Had drinks at the bar which were also very reasonably priced.
    A good choice for a beach close to Paleochora.

    This small museum is the home of Eleftherios Venizelos, the man who helped remove the Ottomans from Crete, unite Crete with Athens and guide the new nation through WW1.
    The museum is his childhood and adult home while in Crete. They have an interesting collection, ranging from oil paintings to the car with 60 bullet holes from an assignation attempt. It's worth a stop while visiting Chania.
    The collection has signs in Greek and English. They have an app with a description of many objects written in several languages.

    Walking on the beach of Almyros and looking at hundreds of seagulls who quietly sit on the surface of the sea and together fly away in a white cloud of feathers is an experience to live.

    Before going to Rethymno for the first time, we read several reviews of the beach. Some weren’t so good but I’m pleased to say that our visit was fine.

    You can walk to the beach from the old town - if it’s too hot , it’s €6 in a taxi.
    We rented x2 loungers and umbrella for €9 for the day. The loungers were run by a nearby restaurant but there was no obligation to eat there or purchase anything (we didn’t).

    It’s easy to get into the sea - which is warm compared to Spain. A few pebbles but nothing much. As for cleanliness- we’ll, it’s not spotless. There is a little little and a few twigs etc but it’s a city beach. I’ve seen worse in other countries. It’s not an issue really.
    Plenty of bars and restaurants a ross the road. It’s safe to leave your stuff while you have lunch.

    Enjoy

    What an exceptional exhibition! We were completely entranced not only by the skill but also by the enthusiasm and explanation. Although it is a bit off the beaten track it is well worth the effort of getting there. A true gem in the wealth of gems that is Crete

    Very nice beach. Lots of restaurants/taverns are along tge shore. It is a sandy beach but with pebbles, so a bit difficult to walk in without proper shoes because it hurts.
    Generally 2 sunbeds & umbrella cost 15 EUR in August 2023.
    Bit difficult to drive there on the curvy roads

    Take Water shoes as walking on pebbles may you find difficult. Do not eat in overpriced sea row restaurants and visit local tavernas just cross thé road. Food excelent And Price Is three times less. parking Is all free. Recommend taverna Is To Steki Tis Kadianis.

    Very relaxed and friendly small town. West end of the beach has great snorkeling. Sunrise is gorgeous; star gazing at night equally so. Beachfront tavernas with excellent food. Not crowded at all (unlike Elafonesi that seemed to be wall-to-wall people).

    The beaches are beatiful, but only a few are smooth to go in swimming, especially with kids.
    Services are very dependant on hotel, choose well based on prior reviews.
