Ταυρωνίτης

Σχετικά

A long pebbly beach by a farming village west of Chania, usually very quiet.

Tavronitis is part of the long coast west of Maleme, named after the river that flows here. The beach is pebbly, unorganised and rarely busy.

The village of Tavronitis is a farming community, with a weekly market. It's a good place to escape the busy resorts and enjoy a peaceful swim.

The Platanias area stretches along the coast west of Chania, with a string of lively resorts such as Agia Marina, Platanias and Maleme, and long sandy beaches facing the island of Thodorou. Inland, the land rises quickly into green valleys, orange groves and mountain villages where life is slow. This area saw fierce fighting in the Battle of Crete in May 1941, remembered at the Maleme cemetery and in many village memorials. It's a convenient base, with Chania only a short drive away.
