Map

Location

The Giannoulis Grand Bay Beach Resort, welcoming guests aged 16 and over, is located 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 preserves the traditional Cretan style. The resort is located about 25 km from Chania city, Chania Airport is approx. 44 km away, and Heraklion Airport is about 160 km away. The famous Samaria Gorge is only approx. 40 km away. This makes the resort the ideal starting point for excursions into the impressive nature, to the most famous beaches of Crete such as Balos Lagoon and Elafonisi, as well as to cultural sights of the island.
