Both have a good main road to connect them to Plaka via village of Kalives and Almyrtha. Port of Souda is half an hour's drive away and ferry comes to and from Athens daily.
Distances
Nearest village is a few minutes walk to Plaka with a mini market and tavernas. Chania is main town and is a 30 minute drive and this is where airport is. Plaka is 20 minutes walk to Almyrtha beach and shops and small tavernas. This is where Flisvos car hire shop can be found. Kalives (15 minutes drive) is next beach and busier, it is a small fishing village, with tavernas and many small shops - with butchers, chemist, bakers and internet shops.

Further details
Kalives is the best place to go for banks and bigger shops, such as chemists, bakers, butchers, laundry, internet cafes and large INKA supermarket at end of High Street.
