HOLIDAYS IN AGHIOS NIKOLAOS

Probably the oldest and certainly the most famous of Crete’s many holiday resorts, since it’s growth in the 60’s and 70’s Aghios Nikolaos (Ag. Nik) has maintained a summer charm all of it’s own. With a delightful town centre, it’s bottomless inland lake, it’s pleasant harbour and marina, plus several good beaches it really has got what it takes for a holiday town, with sun, sea and sand in plentiful supply. The town of Aghios Nikolaos has a wide range of Cafes, Bars and Restaurants to meet almost every taste. In recent years the town has grown as an administrative centre for the province of Lasithi, and is also home to the principal hospital for the East of the island.
Because of it’s well tried formula it is still popular with regular holiday makers, and because of it’s cosmopolitan outlook is an excellent choice for first time visitors. The town of Aghios Nikolaos is a good holiday base for exploring the East of the island, and with a hire car rented for a few days many tourist sites can be visited, especially the inland villages of Kritsa, with it’s olive farm, the ancient sites at Lato, and Driros, or down to Gournia. Visits to all the wonderful beaches around the bay of Mirambellou, places such as Ammoudara, Vathi, and Istron are highly recommended. If you wish there are also a wealth of traditional villages Pirgos, Kato Horio, Meseleri being just a few.
A visit to the old administrative town of Neapoli, with it’s Law Courts and traditional square, then on to visit the Lassithi Plateau, with it’s ancient windmills, and wonderful agricultural products, makes a memorable day out, with an opportunity to see the island as it once was, you can also visit the churches of Moni Kremastou, Moni Kroustalenias, and Moni Violanis. Around the peninsula there are visits to Fourni, Kastelli, Karidi, Elounda, or over to the charming little harbour at Limin Sisiou, there really is too much for just one holiday.
If you enjoy spending some time on a boat there are enjoyable trips to the Island of Spinalonga, which was Europe’s last leper colony, and the subject of a recent novel called The Island, all in all despite it’s long established reputation Aghios Nikolaos still has much to offer today’s tourist or holidaymaker.
