Please note that this is a self-catering apartment, offering guests privacy and independence during their stay. The apartment is professionally cleaned before each arrival, with housekeeping service provided once every 3 days. Mira Mare is a boutique apartment complex in Stavros, Crete, currently undergoing renovation to create a calm, thoughtfully designed coastal retreat. The property includes 8 carefully designed apartments, blending natural materials, soft Mediterranean tones, and a relaxed boho look & feel. Each apartment is designed for comfort and ease, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private balcony or patio for quiet outdoor moments. Select units offer partial views of the sea or the surrounding Cretan mountains, while others look out to peaceful garden or village surroundings. Apartment No. 5 stands out as a true oasis of comfort. Located on the top floor, it enjoys both mountain and sunset views, offering a beautiful sense of openness and light. The apartment features two private balconies and a spacious bathroom that includes a sauna — creating a private retreat-like atmosphere within the home itself. Shared outdoor spaces and details like outdoor showers reflect the rhythm of seaside living, making it easy to move between beach and home throughout the day. Just steps from the sandy bay of Stavros, the complex offers a simple, well-balanced stay focused on privacy, comfort, and connection to the natural surroundings.

It’s no wonder Zorba the Greek danced his heart out on the beach of Stavros. This peaceful bay, with its calm, crystal-clear waters and the impressive Akrotiri mountain standing guard, offers a setting that’s both relaxing and naturally stunning. Part of a protected wildlife reserve, the area feels like a little escape into nature. The village’s main beach is a gently curving bay with shallow, calm waters, perfect for families with children or anyone looking to float peacefully and unwind. It has received the prestigious Blue Flag for cleanliness and environmental standards. Just a short walk away lies Pachia Ammos, a wilder, more natural beach known for its soft sands and as a nesting site for the endangered Caretta-caretta sea turtles. Around the beach, you’ll find plenty of traditional tavernas and cafes offering a variety of delicious options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Minimarkets are located a few minutes walk from the accomodation. Life in Stavros is simple and slow-paced. Spend your days relaxing on the soft sands or take time to explore the beautiful surroundings. Discover nearby villages just a few minutes’ drive away, or hop over to Chania’s charming Old Town in about 25 minutes. Though once you settle into the rhythm of Stavros, you might not want to leave at all. Stavros is perfect for travelers looking to get off the beaten path, reconnect with nature, and experience the quiet magic of Crete, without the crowds. We’d love to host you and help you enjoy the simple, quiet charm of Crete
