Tavronitis
Tavronitis is a quiet undeveloped village facing a 3km of beach with several villas dotted along the beach front. The beach rarely becomes busy and there is always plenty of shade in the form of trees, that fringe the beach, or rental sun beds and umbrellas. On the beach you will also find some 'Kanteens ' that sell cold drinks, snack and light taverna meals. In the village there is a good selection of shops, traditional tavernas and super markets. Tavronitis is a perfect starting point for exploring the NW of Crete. The nearby town of Kissamos is just a short drive and there you will find numerous archaeological sites as well as trips to uninhabited islands off the coast of Crete.

Places Close By
Maleme
Maleme Is a historic coastal village which was involved in several battles during WW2. Today the scene is much more friendly with a sandy beach and welcoming turquoise waters. There are several tavernas, bars and min-markets.
Kissamos
Kissamos is the area that covers the NW corner of Crete and is one of the least developed areas. Rolling hills descend down to rugged almost deserted sandy beaches. Two of our favourites are Falassarna Beach and Balos Beach. Another, not-to-be-missed treat is taking a ferry from the port of Kissamos to the island of Gramvousa. Here you will find a unique desert island setting with sandy beaches.
Balos Lagoon
Balos Lagoon: is a beautiful beach covered with fine white sand giving the sea a dramatic emerald color. In front of the beach is the picturesque island of Gramvoussa. Balos Lagoon is accessible by boat (from Kissamos) or via a rough track. It is one of the finest beaches on Crete and definitely worth a visit.
Georgioupolis
Georgioupolis is a former fishing village by the western end of the bay of Rethymnon. Recently, the old fishing port was extended to accommodate a small marina and the landmark of Georgioupolis is a tiny white-washed chapel at the end of a jetty. Within the village and around the port are numerous tavernas and bars where you can absorb the local atmosphere as it has been enjoyed over the ages.
