Ombros Gialos (or Ombrosgialos) is located 26 km east of Chania, on the east coast of Cape Drapano, near the villages of Kefalas andPaleloni. It is a rocky bay with calm deep blue waters. There is a small harbour with a pier and the entrance to the sea is facilitated by a concrete platform, from which people usually dive into the crystal-clear waters of the area, making it one of the finest beaches in the northern region of the island. The coast is generally not organized and is far from accommodation options. The sea area around Ombrosgialos is ideal for snorkelling, while the Hellenic Navy has moored old ships to create a diving park.
Ombrogialos is a very small community, simply a smattering of houses on a hillside and the hill looks out over a beautiful blue bay to Rethymno – the views are spectacular.
Ombrogialos is obviously a very peaceful and scenic place to live or to stay. However, it’s also convenient for the amenities at all the surrounding villages. Kefalas, Drapanos, Vamos and the beaches at Almirida are all within 5 – 10 minutes away.
