9Agios Nikolaos

Agios Nikolaos is a beautiful waterfront town on the northeastern shores of Crete. Set at the center of the town is the picturesque and mythical Lake Voulismeni, with a port lined with restaurants, bars, shops, and neoclassical homes. Travelers dine in the waterfront cafe and restaurants as they enjoy the views and cool sea breezes.

If craving the sun and sand, adventurers drive for about 15 minutes to Voulisma Beach. The beach curves along a ribbon of soft sand and has shallow clear turquoise waters ideal for children to swim in.
