Stavros Beach Crete Chania Area

Stavros Beach is a picturesque and well-sheltered coastal bay located on the northern tip of the Akrotiri peninsula famously serving as the filming location for the final scene of the film "Zorba the Greek" featuring a landscape of fine sand and very shallow waters that are nearly always calm due to the protection provided by a massive craggy mountain that looms over the shoreline in a circular lagoon-like formation where the environment is well-organized with traditional tavernas and small hotels providing a scenic and peaceful sanctuary for those who appreciate the unique combination of cinematic history and natural tranquility.
