Take the Souda to Chania Airport road, look for sign and road to site on your right. You will see entrance to site and small parking area soon after you have turned right. If you get to British War Cemetery you have missed turning. You could then park at cemetery and take shore exit from cemetery and walk right, along the shore to reach Moronis River after 300/400m. All this area is of interest. |
