Location

The Giannoulis Grand Bay Beach Resort, welcoming guests aged 16 and above, is situated directly on the approximately 3 km long sandy and pebble beach of Kolymbari, which has been awarded the "Blue Flag". The picturesque fishing village still retains its traditional Cretan style. The resort is located about 25 km from Chania town, Chania Airport is approximately 44 km away, and Heraklion Airport is about 160 km away. 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 Crete's most famous beaches such as Balos Lagoon and Elafonisi, as well as to cultural sights on the island.
