The village of Tavronitis (750m) is situated inland and can be reached on foot in approximately 15 minutes. It is a charming village that offers visitors a more laid-back experience compared to some of the busier tourist spots on the island. It is known for its rural charm, natural beauty, and proximity to both the sea and the mountains. Here you will discover several traditional tavernas and cafes, offering freshly prepared dishes, such as moussaka, souvlaki, and grilled fish, along with homemade raki and local wines. Dining in Tavronitis allows guests to experience authentic Cretan hospitality in a relaxed and unhurried environment. Close by there a handful of local shops where you can buy fresh produce, local products, and everyday essentials. The nearby coastline is pebbly with clear waters, making it suitable for swimming, sunbathing and snorkelling. It does not get as busy as some of the more well-known beaches on the island, meaning a peaceful day by the sea can be enjoyed even during the most popular times of the year. For those seeking more action, boat trips and watersports are also available.
