Pithari is a linear town center along the road from the town of Chania to the airport of Chania. Pithari is located about 12 km north-east of the center of Chania.
A few restaurants and taverns, mini markets, pastry shops, one pharmacy, and two petrol stations can be found here.
If you stay in one Villa in Pithari, a car is recommended in order to visit in 5-10 minutes a few very nice sandy beaches (Loutraki, Marathi, Kalathas).
