The village Anidri is a rare location, retaining a laid-back quiet traditional Greek atmosphere, but attracting a cosmopolitan crowd to its famous Kafenion which offers an unusual blend of Greek and European cuisine. The Kafenion is the heart of the small local community, and you find here all the help and information you want as a tourist, as well as a charming social life.
The tiny and quiet mountain village of Anidri is situated in a sunny valley, about 1.5 kilometres from the beach as the crow flies (or 40 minutes' gorgeous walk down the picturesque valley). With the car it takes about 5 minutes' drive to get to the sea, and 10 minutes to get to Anidri beach itself where you can find isolated bays, as well as more populated areas with two cafes and beaches with deck chairs and umbrellas.
Anidri is located on the South-West coast of Crete, near the tourist town Paleochora, about an hour's drive from the nearest airport, Chania.
The West and especially the South-West of Crete are protected from the mass tourism of Northern Crete by a chain of mountains, offering a mild, sunny Mediterranean climate (sheer endless blue skies - 330 days of sun per year) and unspoilt nature. There are miles and miles of small, secluded bays and beaches, as well as a few well-developed ones, with sunbeds, umbrellas and beach cantinas.
