Xamoudochori is a semi mountainous settlement of Chania, with stunning view towards the coastline of Platanias. It is 19 km away from the center of Chania, built at an altitude of 110 meters. The 150 permanent inhabitants are mainly occupied in the cultivation of olive trees and vineyards.

The traditional cafe in the center of Xamoudohori is waiting to refresh you with local beverages and traditional Cretan raki.

At the hills of the village with the view towards the endless olive groves and vineyards in the area and while looking the bay of Chania and the Cape of Spatha, you will see the first tourist accommodation of the area emerging.
