Souda is located 3km east of the resort of Plakias. Don’t confuse it with the Souda Bay, the natural port of Chania city. It is actually the last beach of the beachfront of Plakias, which starts at Shinaria, several kilometers away. Souda is located at the exit of a small green valley that is run by the small river Finikas, which has water all year round. Along the river and in several places of the area, there are colonies of the native Cretan palm trees of Theophrastus, making Souda one of the most important reserves for the species.In front of this magnificent scenery, a beautiful beach with sand is stretched, loved by all visitors.

A beautiful beach where you can go for a swim even if it is very windy.
