Neighbourhood information
Kaloi Liménes is a tiny coastal village—home to just 17 people (2021)—located about 75–77 km southwest of Heraklion in Crete’s Heraklion regional unit. Its name means “Good Harbors,” and it sits at a natural port once referenced in ancient texts, including Acts of the Apostles when Saint Paul landed here en route to Rome.
Tucked beneath the dramatic Asterousia Mountains, the shoreline is dotted with pebbleandsand coves sheltered from wind, offering calm, clear blue waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The beaches—Psili Ammos (fine sand), Makria Ammos (long beach), Chrysostomos, and others—each have unique character; Psili Ammos is familyfriendly, while Makria Ammos invites deeper-water diver.
Nearby islets, including “Apostolos Pavlos” (Saint Paul’s islet), serve modern maritime needs like bunkering, echoing the village’s long history as a safe harbor. A hilltop church dedicated to Saint Paul stands near a cave where—according to tradition—the apostle stayed.
Nearby attractions:
Agiofaraggo Beach & Gorge (~14 km east): Hike through a narrow gorge to reach a secluded bay—an excellent combo of nature and coastal beauty.
Ancient Lasaea: Ruins of this Roman-era port—once part of Gortys—lie east near Chrysostomos.
Coastal cruise options: exploring hidden coves and snorkeling spots
Other nearby sights: Explore villages like Lentas, Matala, and archaeological gems such as Minoan tombs near Kamilari.
With its blend of quiet beaches, historic resonance, and scenic geography, Kaloi Liménes offers a deeply authentic southernCrete experience—perfect for peaceful getaways, outdoor exploration, and cultural discovery.
