Drapanias (Greek: Δραπανιάς) is a small village in northwestern Crete, in the regional unit of Chania.
[citation needed] Frequent KTEL buses connect the village with various locations, such as Kissamos and Chania.
[citation needed] Evidence of settlements at Drapanias dates back to circa 1600 BCE during the Greek Bronze Age, at the Minoan archaeological site of Nopigeia-Drapanias.
[9][10] A Roman bath on the site subsequently had a church dedicated to Saint George built into it, which has wall paintings dating to the early 15th century CE.
[14] On January 25, 2022, the Egyptian freighter Manassa Rose M ran aground on the beach in the village and subsequently broke into two pieces.
