    Douliana, Apokoronas

    Douliana is 25km from Chania, 2km from the beach of Kera and Almirida. It is up in the hills
    surrounded by the green of olive trees, vineyards, carobs, herbs and wild flowers. It is well hidden
    from mainstream tourism and it does not offer only sun, sand and sea.
    Douliana, is the ideal traditional village for people who want to escape in order to relax and have
    quality breaks. Walking in the narrow streets, enjoying the old stone-built houses, drinking
    “tsikoudia” or local wine at the village taverna after swimming at Almyrida beach and in the evening,
    staring at the stars.
    A unique, peaceful village with a splendid back drop to the White Mountains , bursting with colourful
    fragrant flowers, Douliana has been awarded protected village status, and is deemed by many visitors
    to be the most beautiful village in the Apokoronas area.
