Agios Nikolaos is 65 kilometres east of Heraklion.
It dominates the beautiful Merabello Bay, on the northeast coast of Lassithi Prefecture in East Crete. Agios Nikolaos was one of the first towns in Crete to feel the effects of tourist development, and the famous lake Voulismeni, around which the town center is built, continues to impress visitors. Agios Nikolaos is ideal for everyone, young and old, singles, couples and families, explorers and those who would rather spend their holidays on the beaches of the town and other places nearby, such as Elounda to the north or Ammoudara and Istron to the south. |
