Whether you're dipping a toe in the water or just kicking back on the shoreline, Stavros Beach is a lovely place to spend time with the family. Why not bring a picnic and a rug and make a day of it?

This stretch of coastline is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Akrotiri. But Stavros Beach isn't the only drawcard in the area. Seitan Limania Beach, Chania Archaeological Museum, and Kalathas Beach are some other worthwhile attractions close by.

The rooms and property exceeded my expectations. Well maintained and beautifully appointed. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. The property is on the hillside giving gorgeous views. I was nervous about dragging my suitcase up the hill but I was met in the parking area and everything was taken care of for me proactively. They have a lovely bar/restaurant area with a good selection of food and wine. You can't go wrong booking this wonderful property.
