Holidays In Crete With Our Family

The capital of the prefecture of Lassithi, Agios Nikolaos dominates the landscape and is built on the site of ancient Latos to Kamara, in the picturesque bay of Mirabello. The bay took its name from the Venetian castle of the same name that was destroyed by the Turks. Its name originates from the Byzantine church located in the bay of Agios Nikolaos, while the older known name was Mandraki, as there were many yards with goats in the area. best resorts in crete for families 


The locals of the surrounding villages will often refer to it as 'Gialos'. A walk in the city center with the elegant neoclassical buildings is a must. The visitor should also travel further north to the cosmopolitan Elounda, escape to the neighboring villages based in Sitia and Ierapetra and visit the many archeological sites traveling back in time.

An absolute expression of the charm of Agios Nikolaos, the mythical lake Voulismeni (or simply 'Lake' for the people of Agionikoli), is connected to the picturesque port by communicating with the sea. A small park with pines above the Lake offers a panoramic view of the city, and a small stone path that starts from it meanders between tamarisk trees and ends on the South side of the Lake, where small fishing boats moor. There are many myths about the Lake, the oldest of which want the goddesses Athena and Artemis to bathe in it. After the lake you can start the walk in the city from the west side of the picturesque port.
