Sougia, Crete
The tiny, picturesque fishing hamlet of Sougia is around 67km
from Chania. Its 150 inhabitants make a living from fishing and
tourism, which during the summer months, is usually quite
considerable.
The fine pebble beach is fringed with green fields and sheltered
by pine trees making it an ideal location for holiday makers.
The hamlet is located on the site of the ancient town of Suia
and there are some interesting ruins to see such as the ruins of
the basilica and other constructions of the Roman period.
Not too far from Sougia is the remains of the ancient city of
Lissos where the famous Asclipieum stood. On this site now
stands the church of Agios Kiricus.
