Situated approximately 37 kilometers east from Chania on the east coast of Cape Drapanos, near Kefalas and Paleloni villages, Ombrosgialos is a remote rocky but easily accessible cove, not affected by the northern summer winds with crystal clear turquoise waters. The sea is accessed by a jetty that serves the small fishing harbour.

It’s a tranquil area of unique natural beauty and a paradise for snorkelers with only a small fish tavern famous for its dishes. The cove is accessible either by car / motorbike or by boat. A truly hidden gem.
