Stavros, Tourist beach in Stavros, Crete, Greece
The beach of Stavros features two distinct sections divided by the Trachili peninsula, with turquoise waters and white sand along the coastline.
The limestone quarry at Stavros provided essential materials for the construction of Hania's fortifications in 1252.
The beach gained international recognition when it served as the filming location for 'Zorba the Greek', which received seven Oscar nominations.
The eastern section provides shallow waters suitable for families, while the western part maintains a more secluded environment.
Mount Vardies rises above the beach with its distinctive camel shape and contains natural caves that visitors can explore.
