30 km west of Chania, the village of Tavronitis stands at the point where the north coast road sends an exploratory spur wriggling southwards over the mountains to Paleohora. Tourism still remains pretty low key and the village retains an authentic ambience with particularly friendly shopkeepers delighted to have the opportunity to practise their English. As well as a couple of convenient mini-markets, there’s a butcher, baker and a patisserie, whilst down by the sea are 3 or 4 tavernas strung along the pebbly shore line which stretches some 10km around the bay to Kolymbari notable for its mouth watering choice of harbour side fish tavernas, plus a well stocked supermarket & 3 banks, all with ATM machines. Finally, for fresh fruit, veg & bags of atmosphere visit the Saturday market in Voukoulies, 7km inland.

Villa hermes was amazing!! The pics do not do it justice!! Maria the owner was very friendly and we enjoyed every minute. Me and my partner were there to be married and we had a party back at hermes after the reception. Truely stunning views and we will be back next year for our first anniversary!!
Many thanks to freelance and their people in Crete. Very helpful and friendly man. Cheers!!
