Location

Souda
The town has a port which is the second biggest of Crete and one of the biggest ports of Greece; daily and regular ferry services are connecting Souda to the harbour of Piraeus.

The port of Souda is one of the most important natural harbours of the Mediterranean. Today one can visit the still existing Turkish settles, the fish harbour but most of all you can visit the Alien's Cemetery of Vlites Souda. 7km east of Souda you can reach Kalami, a small village with a few traditional houses and panoramic view on the bay.

The harbour of Souda is south of the large peninsula of Akrotiri. At the far end of the harbour there is a newly constructed fishing harbour that will provide facilities for small boats Souda Harbour provides all services.  Whatever cannot be found in the immediate harbour area will be in Chania 10min away. The ferry boats to Pireaus also dock here.

In the middle of the bay is a small islet of the same name with a beautiful Venetian castle standing in its centre.

Souda provides all kind of accommodations and entertainment and it is linked regularly by bus to Chania. From Souda one can visit the interesting surrounding region as well as Aptera which used to be a powerful city of Greece and where Roman and Byzantine remains and a Turkish fort can still be seen. Souda itself has banks, shopping and some taverns.

The ancient city of Aptera
Above the entrance to the great harbour of Souda, where Paleokastro stands today near the village of Megala Chorafia, the extensive ruins of the ancient city of Aptera (also referred to as Apteria, Apterea, or Aptaria) can be found. The name Aptera, according to one tradition, derives from Apteron, king of Crete, son of Kydon and father of Lappios, who is said to have lived in the time of Moses around 1800 BC. The legend of Apteron lends itself to the suggestion that the city was once a colonial settlement governed by the Dorian Apteros or Aptaros who took part in the occupation of Crete towards the end of the Minoan era.

Alternative legends claim the city of Aptera took its name following a musical competition between the Muses and the Sirens held in the Temple of the Muses. At the time of the competition the city, which was to become Aptera, was renowned as a centre for musical expertise.

The Muses emerged as victors of the competition, a defeat which left the Sirens in such a distressed state that their feathers fell out into the sea, where they were transformed into the small “white islands” in Souda Bay. It is from this legend that the city takes its name, Aptera meaning wingless.

The position of the ancient Aptera is one of the most impressive in Crete, situated high on a level plateau with a fantastic panoramic view. In all directions there is rare beauty to meet the eye, the Cretan sea, the valley of Apokoronou which is exceptionally beautiful, the Akrotiri, the high White Mountains and Malaxa are all to be seen.
