Agios Nikolaos is about 60-70km from Heraklion on the Greek island Crete. You have two main parallel touristic streets that lead to the port with many restaurants, a lake and many tourist shops. Very calm though, so nothing for party people. Above the lake you can have a drink in a bar with a covered terrace with a beautiful view over Agios Nikolaos

beaches are not great but they are good for swimming. Get there early for a sunbed and while away the hours enjoying the view or having a swim

A lovely small traditional Cretan village. I enjoyed taking a walk in its narrow streets very much.

A city on the northern coast of Crete it houses a very scenic harbour and access can be gained to the leper colony by boat for a day trip. But get there early.

For sure the most picturesque city in Crete, in my belief in Greece too. A small port with restaurants all around, pretty streets, nice shops. Breathtaking view from the upper part of the city- some kind of squere with trees on the hill, from where you can see the bay and port.. I love it, it's fabulous.. ANd the special Greek atmosphere in there.. Great;]
