About
Located on the northern end of the Akrotiri Peninsula, this beach is best known as the spot where the iconic sirtaki dance scene in 'Zorba the Greek' was filmed. This crescent bay sits at the foot of Stavros Mountain, and its clear shallow waters and sheltered bay makes it great for families You can rent sun loungers on the beautiful white sandy beach, though note that it can be slightly more expensive than other beaches in Chania. It gets busy in summer too, so get there early if you want to snag a good spot. You can visit this beach after exploring the nearby Holy Trinity Monastery and Gouverneto Monastery on a tour of Chania. – Tripadvisor
