Stavros Cove Hania Province

Near Akrotiri Peninsula’s northern tip, Stavros’ sandy beach is covered with umbrellas and lines a cove dominated by a mammoth rock. It famously served as the dramatic backdrop for the final dancing scene in the classic movie Zorba the Greek. The beach and its neighbouring clutch of cafes and tavernas can get crowded. Other thin, windswept beaches line Stavros’ western shores.
