The surrounding area features a charming small park with unobstructed views of Chania. Eleftherios Venizelos, a pivotal figure in Greek history, was born in Turkish-occupied Crete in 1864 and passed away in Paris in 1936. His remains were brought here for burial, and in 1965, the tomb of his son Sophocles, who served as Greece’s Prime Minister from 1943 to 1952, was added.

Enjoy most of the time here, where the iconic film “Zorba the Greek” starring Hollywood star Anthony Quinn was shot. Take a dip in the deep, vibrant blue shallow waters or enjoy a meal!
