Stavros
Stavros (i.e. cross) is a seaside village located 17km northeast of Chania, at the northernmost edge of Cape Akrotiri. One characteristic feature of the area is the very steep camel-shaped mountain rising opposite the harbor of Stavros. The mountain is famous, because there were filmed scenes for the film “Zorba the Greek”, where Anthony Quinn danced the famous Sirtaki Dance in 1964. Then Stavros was a small fishing village.
Today the region has become a major tourist resort with many hotels and important tourist infrastructures. The two beaches of the area have contributed to the development of the area.

At a distance of approximately 15 kilometers from Chania at the Northeast, it is situated the beach of Stavros, at the very north of the Akrotiri peninsula. One of the bays of the area gives the feeling of a lake because of its small size. In this area you can find an abundance of fish. At this place filmed the famous Alexis Zorbas and Stavros had its moment of fame. It is a rather remote beach with fine sand, but as most of the beaches of the north it is not protected from the “meltemia” (northern summer winds).
The beach is organised with some hotels offering accommodation and restaurants, taverns and cafes for food and drink. Sun beds are also available.
