The Akrotiri.

 

All our villas are within easy reach of the beautiful beaches on the Akrotiri. These are; Kalathas, a large sandy beach with taverna and snack bars. Tersanas is a small sandy bay perfect for families with a snack bar and taverna. Stavros beach also with sunbeds for rent is the most northerly. This bay lies below the mountain now named after the film, 'Zorba The Greek'. A small beach found directly beside Thanasis taverna further round from Stavros.  Not to be forgotten is Stavros beach westerly facing where you will find Sunset bar. To the south of the Akrotiri are two more beaches. These are the small beach of Loutraki, with sunbeds and a small canteena and the popular Marathi where you will also find sunbeds for rent both in the main area and a little further on near the camping area.  There are a bars and some fish tavernas to be found on the water front. 


The main town is Kounoupidiana with a variety of shops and supermarkets for your shopping needs. banks with ATM machines, pharmacies and a selection of restaurants.

 

Chania.

The charming Venetian city of Chania is a short drive away where you will need to explore a combination of the ‘Old Town’ and the newer part. The ‘Old Town’ is a mix of architectural influences predominantly Venetian with Moorish additions.  All this built on the remains of a Minoan city, whose remains can be viewed in the active archaeological digs around various parts of the Old town and boasts a lively café culture.


Eating out is still reasonably priced here and there are a good range of places to eat all over the Akrotiri and Chania from take away pizza to tavernas and restaurants.
