The villages of Galatas and Daratso were initially small hill villages overlooking the beach of Kalamaki a little to the West of Chania. These villages saw some development in tourism some years ago especially near the sea. The lower parts became known as Kato (meaning 'down' or 'low' in Greek) Daratso and Kato Galatas.

Galatas and Daratso were also 'discovered' by Cretans who wanted to escape living in the city of Chania and have become quite suburbian by now although they still retain a quiet, residential atmosphere
