The Crete region
The Prefecture of Lassithi lies in the east of Crete, offering gorgeous beaches, and a huge, lush plateau, covered in archaeological treasures and beautiful places to walk. This quieter region of Crete is the perfect place to take a top class beach holiday, yet still be able to immerse yourself in the traditional way of life.
Awarded no less than 32 European Blue Flags for the cleanliness of its many beaches means that whether you go in search of a blissfully secluded cove beach or a large, sweeping beach adorned with beach bars and endless facilities, you are almost certain to find a clean, safe beach. The larger beaches are almost certain to offer water skiing, sailing, windsurfing and diving opportunities, as well as the chance to go deep sea fishing off the shores of the island. There are also a variety of scuba diving centres scattered across this side of Crete.
The inland regions of Lassithi are also quite remarkable. Towering sandstone cliffs are scoured with deep valleys and deep, blue lakes, making it the ideal location for hang gliding, hiking, climbing, caving, mountain biking, fishing and walking.
Aghios Nikolaos / Elounda area
Elounda is quietly becoming a renowned tourist resort on the coastline of Lassithi, for all the right reasons. Strict building and forestry guidelines ensure this area has not and will not be spoilt by the overbuilding that has blighted other regions in the past.
Tranquillity can still be be found with stunning shaded beaches and crystal still waters giving you a magical mix of Greek charm, yet with modern facilities and a great number of activities on offer. After a day at the villa, on the beach or in the water snorkelling, Elounda town is particularly good place to sample that famous Cretan cuisine. A lively bar /restaurant or a quieter taverna by the harbour is your choice.
Also within easy reach, travel a short distance by the coastal road with its amazing scenery to Agios Nikolaos and Plaka, two contrasting towns in opposite directions both worthy of a visit. Plaka just 6 km away with its charming and hidden shops & restaurants from where you can look directly out to Spinalonga, the most famous isle on Crete and wonder at its remarkable history.
Hard to resist dipping in the crystal clear sea from the pebble beach or driving up into the hills to look down over Spinalonga and the whole bay through to Elounda, a dramatic view. Agios Nikolaos (9km) on the other hand is more vibrant with its fine array of shops and restaurants and much more. Ask any taxi to take you to 'the Lake in Ag. Nik' , this most charming feature connected to the sea by a straight channel in its natural surrounding of red rock and trees will attract and mesmerises you.
At the small open air theatre by the lake locals & visitors alike can often enjoy musical & dance presentations. You will find the 'Square' at the centre of town with its memorial surrounded by orange trees, where from here in every direction you will find something of interest be it the towns shops, its beach, the lake or the Marina.
