Stavros, Akrotiri

Displayed:   times.

Stavros is a ten minute stroll from Artemis. You will find yourself standing on the sands where Anthony Quinn and Alan Bates danced the now famous "Syrtaki" at the end of "Zorba the Greek". Despite the popularity of the film, Stavros has remained largely unspoilt with it’s handful of fishing boats, a few good tavernas - including the original "Zorbas" and a couple of mini-markets and beach cantinas.
The main attractions though are the 2 beaches.Both beaches have ample sun loungers and umbrellas for rent, cantinas selling drinks and snacks and showers and toilet facilities. The first a very safe, shallow, lagoon shaped bay surrounded by beautiful white and coral sand and sheltered by Zorba’s mountain - great for small children but also excellent for snorkelling. A few minutes further on the seaward side the scene is quite different with a sandy but more rugged coastline often with quite exciting waves. From here there are views across Chania and the coastline further west - a place for stunning sunsets! More info on: www.akrotirivillas.com
