Polemarchi (Tavronitis)

The village of Tavronitis, 30km west of Chania, 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 residents. In the village of Tavronitis one will find a couple of convenient mini-markets, there's a butcher, a bakery and a patisserie. If guests 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.
