Description
Located above Plaka, approximately 27 km from Chania at an altitude of 150 meters, Kokkino Chorio (Red Village) is one of the most traditional villages in the area with stone houses, beautiful churches and a picturesque square. The village has about 300 permanent residents and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Souda Bay and the majestic White Mountains. At the entrance to the village there is a glass processing factory/glass blowing factory, which is open to visitors. In the village there are the churches of Agios Georgios, Agia Ekaterini and Agios Charalambos. Kokkino Chorio offers tourist accommodation, taverns and cafes for those who want to spend a few quiet days in the traditional Cretan countryside. You can also stroll through the narrow village streets and feel transported back in time as the village has retained its old world charm. Kokkino Chorio has a beautiful location and leaves every visitor with an enchanting, romantic impression. The Drapanokefala hill rises above the town and Cape Drepano is located north of the town. At Cape Drepano, 10 meters above the sea, is the “Cave of the Elephants”, whose 60 × 60 m room is decorated with stalactites and stalagmites. During the Revolution of 1821, 150 women and children sought refuge in one of the area's caves, but despite the difficult access to the cave, the Turks managed to find them. They carried out a massacre. There are many caves near the town, such as the "Petsi Cave" and the "Katalymata" in the village center. There are several beaches nearby with crystal clear water and mostly sandy beaches. Scenes from the famous film “Alexis Zorba”, based on the novel by Cretan author Nikos Kazantzakis, were also filmed here. https://youtu.be/Mzj
