Just above Souda Bay which is on your left hand side below, there is a left turn to Souda. Follow this road all the way down turning right at the bottom in the one-way system, right again (school in front of you), then left and immediately right following the national road signs for Kastelli/Kissamos going west.
The slip road is before the bridge but quite a sharp bend so be careful.
