Laki is 24km southwest of Chania on the Chania - Fournes - Laki - Omalos road. The view of the mountains and valleys are breathtaking. The road starts the serious ascent to Omalos after Fournes. The scene of many rebellions and battles against the Turks, the historic village of Laki, at 500 metres above sea level, is worth a stop. Any one of the coffee shops or tavernas gives the visitor a magnificent view of the valley below and the Lefka Ori.
