Stavros – Quiet low-key resort close to the airport
A Stavros holiday is based in a quiet village with good views, on a secluded small pretty bay on the Akoriti peninsular near the historic town of Chania the principle town of west Crete, on the island’s beautiful west coast. Stavros holidays appeal to families or couples looking for a quiet romantic location close to the airport and the attractions of Chania Town. Stavros is just 8 miles from Chania 2 miles from the airport and 6 miles from the port of Souda which has excellent boat connections. Stavros holiday nightlife is relaxed and low-key with just a few modest and relaxed tavernas, restaurants and bars. This is a place to relax. Holidays in Stavros can enjoy the proximity of Chania Town and its Old Town; an interesting picturesque neighbourhood of narrow paved lanes, flower-decked houses, tastefully renovated buildings, attractive gardens, walls, castles, churches, monasteries, ancient sites, art galleries and museums, with plenty of atmosphere until late at night.
Stavros holidays – Enjoy two exceptional sandy beaches
Stavros beach is an outstandingly beautiful protected sandy bay, (the location for the beach scenes in the film Zorba the Greek!) at the very end of a peninsular. In fact, holidays in Stavros enjoy two beaches as there is a second long sandy beach, often uncrowded. Further small sandy coves are found around the Akoriti peninsular. Both Stavros beaches have clean clear water and are good for swimming and fishing. Stavros holidays can take advantage of the proximity of several more superb long open beaches on the west coast of Crete, often backed by verdant green hills and citrus plantations and olive groves.
Stavros – Quiet base on peninsular close to Chania Town
Holidays in Stavros should include visits to the charming unspoilt traditional Crete villages found inland in the mountains. The village of Therissos for example, is considered one of the prettiest on the island. Chania has an important port at Sounda bay and is therefore an excellent base for boat trips to many varied neighbouring resorts on the south-west coast of Crete as well as the north coast and the Greek mainland. Chania has excellent bus and road connections too. Or just relax and spend your Stavros holiday exploring the quiet surroundings on foot or by bicycle.
