The beach of Agios Onoufrios is a quiet beach, located in a protected bay at the homonymous village of Akrotiri. Agios Onoufrios is located 8 km north of Chania and near Kounoupidiana which is why it is a suburb of Chania. The beach is pebbly, not very organized and mostly preferred by the residents of the region. The beautiful coast of Agios Onoufrios, the picturesque environment, with traditional taverns and the calm sea are some good reasons to visit it. The small, post-Byzantine church of Agios Onoufrios which is located there and celebrates on June 12, has given the name to the beach and the village. The only jarring point in the landscape are the fuel tanks located to the northwest of the bay.
