Nice, sandy beaches created by a group of bays. Even on windy days, usually one of the beaches remains unaffected by waves, so you can enjoy sea. There is also an interesting hiking trail in one of the peninsulas. A full review here: https://www.cretanbeaches.com/en/sea-tourism/west-crete-beaches/agii-apostoli-beaches-chania
