More about Topolia
The most impressive spot near the village is definitely the 1,500-meter-long Topolia Gorge. This gorge has steep slopes, along which many caves can be found. The most significant is the Cave of Saint Sophia, along with the homonymous chapel, located on the western side of the gorge. The inside of the cave is adorned with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. In Topolia, there is also a two-aisled church dedicated to the True Cross and Saint Paraskevi. The inside is decorated with murals that have remained in good condition.
Spilia is small and not extremely affected by the development of mass tourism. As a result, the accommodation choices available are rather limited. Walking around the village, you will come across several charming traditional restaurants serving delicious Mediterranean dishes and savory Cretan wines. If you’re looking for a place to reside, there is a cozy, small guest house in the area where you can have a pleasant, comfortable stay.
The intercity bus connects Topolia to Chania Town. For more information and online tickets, check out the official site. Alternatively, you can reach Topolia by car, which will take you about 42 minutes from Chania Town. If you do not have your own car, you can choose among the car rental options available here.
