Almyrida is the ideal place for a holiday. It has sandy beaches, a small harbour, a sailing school, Blue Flag beach, Greek tavernas, fish restaurants, tavernas selling English food or pasta and pizza, small supermarkets, coffee shops and night bars with Satelite TV, hairdressing salon, jewelry shop, kiosk, broadband internet,gift shops, taxi station, rent-a-car, ATMs, gas station and much more.

The village is also an ideal place for exploring the Apokoronos area, the southern coast and Western Crete. This is especially so during the off peak periods. For example, you can walk the Imbros Gorge in November, December, January and be unlikely to meet anyone else.

The sandy beaches, good weather, beautiful hinterland and the friendliness of Almyrida mean that many visitors return year after year; and some two or three times a year. Here at the Armonia Apartments you can enjoy all the facilities of the village and the comfort of the pleasant apartments and studios.

Almirida is an ideal centre for exploring the Apokoronos area of Crete as well as other areas of the island. The area is beautiful and attracts walkers in late winter and spring and again in late summer and autumn. Birdwatchers and botanists are also attracted by the wealth and diversity of the area. But, of course, the beach is the major attraction for visitors during the summer.
