Souda Bay 2734 hits

Souda Bay is a bay and natural harbour on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Crete, 20 km far from Chania city. The bay is about 15 km long and only two to four km wide, and a deep natural harbour.Souda is an important port for freight ships with a regular ferry service to Pireaus.

It is also a strategic Hellenic Navy and NATO naval base. The strategic importance is enchanced by the Souda Air Base on Akrotiri Peninsula, serving Hellenic Air Force 115 Combat Wing. The latter may look like an information of no importance for the potential tourists, but believe me, even sleeping in Rethymno you will easily notice that Crete has an excellent fighter cover all night long!

Megala Chorafia 2624 hits

Megala Chorafia village is located 2 km away from the town of Aptera in Chania Prefecture. You can also find in the area many traditional tavernas as well as a mini-market. Megala Chorafia is a picturesque hilltop village surrounded by green countryside with panoramic views of the magnificent White Mountains and the Cretan Sea, and it is located 9 km away from Chania, West Crete.

Megala Chorafia depends on the tourists that come to visit the old town of Aptera, which is very nearby, and the Turkish castle of Izzedine. When you enter the village after you have taken the exit that says "Megala Chorafia" the first sign you will see will say that you are in Aptera. This is confusing because you are not yet in Aptera. Aptera is yet a few kilometers away from where you are. You now find yourself in the village of Megala Chorafia.

Megala Chorafia is developed in two cores, the first core is around the junction that leads to some of the traditional villages of Apokoronas (Samonas, Stilos, Provarma,  Macheri) and the second core is developed next to some of the ruins of the ancient city of Aptera (the ruins are spread out over two hills). While if staying in Megala Chorafia you can go for swimming or entertainment in the excellent sandy beaches and the lovely waterfronts of Kalives (3 km) and Almirida (8 km). If you want to eat something you can try the traditional tavernas located in the first core (there is a mini-market here, too).The village is well-located to make excursions in the nearby, traditional, (in the countryside) villages of the Apokoronas district, in Stilos you can have a drink in the shady cafes, in the Samonas village you can walk in the beautiful traditional streets. From here you can also explore a big part of west Crete since the distances are small; Megala Chorafia is next to the National Road leading you everywhere in Crete.Regarding to Aptera it was one of the most important city-states of Crete. The first epigraphic occurence of its name is found in the Linear B tablets (14th - 13th century B.C.). The history of the city continued through the centuries until the 7th century A.D., when an earthquake destroyed it. Its ideal location was determinative for its development in an important commercial and political center. By harbors, Kissamos and Minoa, located on both sides of Suda Bay, Aptera was able to control the naval activity. The era of the city greatest peak was the early Hellenistic period (late 4th - 3th century B.C.).
