Tsivaras
The small, quiet and unspoilt village of Tsivaras in Apokoronas region, west Crete has few local amenities. However, the village is ideally placed between the beaches of Almirida and Kalives and the working town of Vamos. Just minutes by car to the lovely village of Almirida which is built around a crescent shaped sandy beach.
A fabulous village with the perfect location! Still typically Cretan, with a quaint upper village of narrow streets, with either white washed or stone houses, a kafenio which is also a mini market and the delivery point for the post. Tsivaras is only 2 kms from the coast and has gorgeous views of Souda Bay to the north, the White Mountains to the south, verdant valleys looking west to the Turkish fort at Aptera, or east to Gavalohori and the Drapanos peninsula. Set on the main road between Kalives (2kms) and Vamos (4kms), and with many back tracks that lead to the National Highway (in 3 minutes), Kera Beach (in 3 minutes) and Almirida (in 5 minutes). This village also has many different walking trails, including a tiny gorge to the east of the village. A lovely peaceful village with great views, yet so close to the many amenities in Kalives, Almirida and Vamos.

Even more to the east are the beaches of Almyrida. On the beaches of Kera there are no facilities (no sunbeds, no parasols, no tavernes). The Kera beach area lies along the east of the Souda Bay opposite the cape of Akrotiri, within 25 kilometers from the city of Hania.
