One of the most popular and social beaches of Crete is located only 9 km away from Chania. The beach of Agia Marina in the Municipal Unit of Nea Kydonia features very fine sand and an extent of more than 2 km. It is one of the most well organized beaches of the Municipality of Chania as well as of the whole prefecture, providing lifeguard services and organized tourist facilities, comfort for swimmers and various water sports (windsurfing, water ski etc.). The beach of Agia Marina is also ideal for families with children, since its shallow, warm water is considered to be absolutely safe.
In front of the beach of Agia Marina is located the island Agii Theodori or Thodorou, which hosts the protected wild goats of Crete, known as Kri-Kri.
