The Crete region
Crete is the southern-most island in the Mediterranean; in fact it lies further south than the North African cities of Algiers and Tunis.
Crete was the centre of the 4,600 year old Minoan civilisation. Birthplace of Zeus, home of Artemis, Icarus and the Minotaur; the island has a wealth of mythological connections and archaeological sites.
Makrigialos area
Situated in south-east Crete, Makrygialos ('Long Beach') nestles below a dramatic mountain backdrop and has a unique micro-climate. Its main blue-flag beach offers safe shallow bathing, never far from an available sun bed and parasol. Several small attractive local bars and tavernas run along the western side of the bay leading to the village harbour.
Visit the mountain village of Pefki (15 minutes drive) or explore the many unspoilt local coves and beaches. The ancient port of Sitia is a 30 minute drive north through spectacular mountain scenery. Once there, browse through a variety of shops (leather goods/accessories/shoes in abundance!) and enjoy a meal at the harbour-side. The cost of dining is very reasonable; quality and quantity never disppointing.
Local morning markets are held in Makrigialos(Fridays), Sitia (Tuesdays) and Lerapetra (Saturday). For more active holiday makers, Go-Karting is located 20 minutes drive from Makrigialos. South-east Crete boasts several archaeological sites, monasteries and spectacular gorges. The area's olive oil is considered to be the finest in the world. Make sure you sample the local extra-virgin variety and take some home to your friends.
