The Aera of Polemachi - Tavronitis

30km 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 Paleochora.

Tourism still remains pretty low key and the village retains an authentic ambience with very friendly shopkeepers, delighted to have the opportunity to practice there English, to have the chance to hear about other peoples life style ore tell about there own.

In the village of Tavronitis you will find a couple of convenient mini-markets, there's a butcher bakery and a patisserie.

If you go down by the sea are 3-4 tavern's strung along the pebbly shore line which stretches some 10 km around the bay to Kolymbari notable for its mouth watering choice of harbour side fish tavern's, a larger super market and 3 banks all with ATM.

For fresh fruit, vegetables and local atmosphere visit the Saturday market in Voukoulies, 7 km inland.
