Location

Gerani is a seaside, quiet village which is built along the old national road, 15 km west of Chania. The inhabitants call it 'Palaio Gerani', meaning 'Old Gerani', in order to distinguish it from the coastal settlement of 'Ano Gerani', meaning 'Upper Gerani', which is located one kilometer to the south. The most of the touristic accommodation is located between the old national road and the sea, whereas the biggest units are located outside the village. The centre of the village is quite widespread and it is built around the cross point of the provincial road to Modi with the old National Road. You can find here many cafes and restaurants, petrol station and mini-shops.

One very important characteristic of the village is the small river which passes through it to the sea. The word 'Gerani' comes from the way the locals were pumping water from the swallow waters 500 years ago.

The long sandy beach on the north of the village gains every year the Blue Flag; it is partly organised (not crowded) and provides all kind of facilities such as sun-chairs, umbrellas, showers, W.C. and sea sports. The blue of the sea joins with the blue or starry sky in calmness and passion.

The village is just next to the knot of the new National Road, making it easy to travel everywhere in Crete. Its time-distance from the international airport of Akrotiri and the Souda port is about half an hour, if you come from the new National Road. There are also frequent buses from the center of Chania.
