Staying at Orama means you are surrounded by the flavours of Crete, from simple seaside tavernas to modern restaurants that give a fresh twist to traditional recipes. In Agia Marina and nearby Platanias you can taste local dishes like fresh grilled fish, dakos with juicy tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil, slow cooked lamb, homemade kalitsounia pies and desserts scented with honey and cinnamon. Many places work with small producers for wine, cheese and vegetables, so what arrives at your table is seasonal and local. Whether you prefer a casual meze by the sea in your flip flops or a long dinner with good Cretan wine, you can try something different every night within a short walk or drive from your apartment.

Agia Marina is a modern resort area that still keeps a local Cretan feel, making it a great base for exploring the wider region of Chania. In a few minutes you can be in the atmospheric Old Town with its Venetian harbour, narrow streets, boutiques and waterfront cafés, while popular areas like Platanias are just down the road for nightlife and shopping. From here it is also easy to join excursions to mountain villages, wineries and famous natural sights such as Samaria Gorge or the Botanical Park of Crete. Whether you choose to explore every day or simply enjoy the sea and the village rhythm, Orama places you in a convenient, well connected spot with the best of Chania within easy reach.
