Nestled between the countryside, beach and lively towns, holidays to Tavronitis are jam-packed with classic Greek backdrops.
Tasty Tavronitis
This neat little town on the northern coast of Crete is home to pastry shops, mini-markets and authentic restaurants ideal for taste-testing. The simple villa-style houses give it a chilled-out feel and wrap up all that's perfect about island life in Greece.
Stroll around Chania
For a change of scene, jump in the car for just under half an hour to get to Chania. Wander down the lively seaside promenade, dipping in and out of the shops as you go. You'll find some good-looking old buildings – think old Turkish bathhouses and Venetian architecture.
Beachy R&R
Tavronitis Beach is ideal for sunbathers and swimmers – this stretch of pebbles is the main beach in town. If you'd rather lounge on the sand, it's a 10-minute drive to reach Platanias – another photo-worthy stretch of Cretan coastline. Neither one's really crowded, so you can gaze out at the horizon in peace.
