The town of Agios Nikolaos is a cosmopolitan resort that welcomes thousands of visitors each year. The town’s centre unfolds around the lake, like a “jewel” surrounded by restaurants, taverns, cafes, and bars. According to legends, Athena and Artemis bathed in its waters. The lake connects to the sea through a narrow channel, making a stroll through the town particularly impressive.
In the city, you will find many traditional cafes offering authentic raki, shops with embroideries, and replicas of ancient sculptures. The Archaeological Museum of Agios Nikolaos and the Folklore Museum offer you a journey through time, with collections of significant archaeological finds and authentic pieces of Cretan art, respectively.
Discover the beaches in the wider area, from small coves, sandy stretches, and bays with crystal-clear waters. You will find organized beaches, tavernas, and water sports, as well as beaches without facilities, where nature prevails. Many of these have been awarded the Blue Flag.
