Gerani is a charming village situated on the northwestern coast of Crete, located between Platanias and Maleme, and easily accessible from the Old National Road and the new national road. The village is spread out along the coast, with the new part of the village, Kato Gerani, located along the beach and the old Gerani, Palaio Gerani, further inland. The village is 14 km west of Chania and has a small river running through it.
Gerani is a great option for those looking for a peaceful vacation spot. Although it is not as developed for tourism as Platanias, Gerani offers a variety of accommodation options, including big hotels and small family-run businesses renting rooms, studios, and apartments. There are also several taverns, cafes, supermarkets, a bakery, a butcher shop, a hairdresser/barber, a pharmacy, and a petrol station in Kato Gerani. Additionally, there is a regular bus service to Chania and Kolimbari for those who want to explore beyond the village.
The beach in Gerani is a mix of coarse sand and pebbles, with the former covering most of the expanse and the latter restricted to the waterline and a few meters inwards. It is recommended to wear bathing shoes due to this. There are sections of the beach where visitors can rent sun beds, parasols, showers, and changing facilities. During busier seasons, a lifeguard is stationed at the busiest area of the shore. While there are a few restaurants along the beach, most visitors prefer to eat at their hotels.
For those who want to explore the surrounding areas, Gerani has a regular bus service to Platanias, which has sandy beaches and amenities such as doctors, banks, chemists, supermarkets, bakeries, and tavernas. It is also possible to walk two kilometers along the road or the beach. Chania town is a 20-minute drive away, and the international airport is about 40 minutes away.
