One of the best Pizza places in Chania area!!!!
This solitary fish taverna in a tiny port 2km east of the centre among the ruins of Hania’s old tanneries is one of Crete’s top eateries. Take in the sunset from the superb setting and peruse the changing menu, dictated by the day’s catch. Most dishes, like the fisherman’s salad, hum with creativity, or transcendent simplicity like melt-in-your-mouth calamari. Take a taxi or follow El Venizelou, turning left at Noel St as soon as you veer away from the coast. The owners also operate excellent To Maridaki , in the Splantzia quarter of Hania.

Stefanou beach is the northern of three small coves formatted on Akrotiri's northern part, at the place called "Seitan Limania" (meaning the harbours of the devil). The name is taken from the wild scenery and the strong currents of the area. Stefanou beach is the most protected cove of all three with pure white pebbles and azure, crystal clear waters. The place is a real heaven and can be reached by road, till the parking lot, and then by a steep track descending to the beach.
