KALYVES (Small town) CHANIA
Kalives is a coastal village with a sandy beach 18km from Chania,
north of the Chania - Rethimnon highway. The village is at the eastern end of
Souda Bay and faces the Akrotiri.
The abundant water supply in this area accounts for the lush vegetation. Near the village there once was the Venetian fortress, Apicorno. The name of this region, Apokoronas, was taken from this fortress. Almirida has a fairly long, pebbly, sand beach and at one end there are several tavernas. Kalives is the probable site of one of two harbours of the important ancient city of Aptera in the steep hill above Kalives. The other harbour was Minoa on the anchorage of Marathi, on the other side of the bay.
