Kolymvari marina
Kolymvari Marina sits at the western edge of the Gulf of Chania, a rugged and windswept corner of Crete where the sea can get lively thanks to its exposed northern-facing position. You'll find it tucked into the fishing village of Kolymbari, giving you easy access to local tavernas and the historic Gonias Monastery just up the coast. The marina serves the broader Municipality of Platanias and can accommodate a range of vessel drafts — worth checking ahead given the area's naturally choppy conditions. It's a no-frills, authentic stop with the wild Cretan coastline as your backdrop.
