This tranquil sanctuary offers a respite from crowded beaches, inviting you to unwind with a peaceful swim and quiet contemplation. The bay's calm, azure waters and surrounding natural beauty create an idyllic setting for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Seitan Limani
Brave the dramatic descent to Seitan Limani, also known as Stefanou Beach, a breathtaking inlet carved into the rugged cliffs of the Akrotiri peninsula. Legend speaks of its past as a pirate hideaway. Plunge into its vivid turquoise waters, framed by towering cliffs, and explore the unique black-and-white pebble shore. This cove, with its fierce energy and dramatic terrain, offers an unforgettable experience. While the narrow, winding road to the beach requires caution, the stunning beauty of Seitan Limani is well worth the effort, presenting a unique and photogenic slice of Crete.
Stavros Beach
Step onto the sands of Stavros Beach, forever immortalized as the setting for the iconic dance scene in 'Zorba the Greek'. Enclosed by mountains and caressed by shimmering shallow waters, this bay offers a captivating blend of cinematic beauty and cultural resonance. Bask in the sun, take a refreshing swim, or simply soak in the breathtaking mountain air. Explore the tranquil village of Stavros, and connect with Crete's artistic and spiritual legacy, following in the footsteps of Anthony Quinn and the film crew that made this place famous. The combination of natural beauty and cinematic history makes Stavros Beach a must-visit destination.
Theodorou Island
Journey to the mysterious Theodorou Island, a protected natural reserve steeped in myth and wildlife. This uninhabited island is a sanctuary for the rare kri-kri goat and bears remnants of Venetian fortifications, testaments to its rich history. Drift along its rugged shores, taking in the haunting silhouette of the 'sleeping giant'—a natural rock formation said to guard the bay. Discover the island's captivating legends and ecological importance, making Theodorou Island a truly unique and unforgettable destination. Snorkeling or diving around the island's protected waters offers the chance to encounter diverse marine life.
