Map

Location

The Giannoulis Grand Bay Beach Resort, which welcomes guests aged 16 and over, is located directly on the approximately 3 km long sand and pebble beach of Kolymbari, which has been awarded the "Blue Flag". The picturesque fishing village still preserves its traditional Cretan style. The resort is located about 25 km from Chania town, approx. 44 km from Chania Airport and about 160 km from Heraklion Airport. The famous Samaria Gorge is only about 40 km away. This makes the resort the ideal starting point for excursions into the impressive nature, to the best-known beaches of Crete such as Balos Lagoon and Elafonisi, as well as to the island's cultural sights.
