Crete is famous for its wonderful beaches, but also for the complete package of holidays that it offers to whoever chooses it. A huge island, with plenty of options in entertainment, amazing beaches, perhaps the best food in Greece as a whole and a culture that if you meet, you will forever love and have in your heart.
If Crete is in your plans this summer, say the big “yes” in the prefecture of Heraklion. Because there, is one of the most beautiful and less famous beaches of the place, the special Agia Pelagia.
Agia Pelagia is a growing tourist resort consisting of many small coves. The main beach of the settlement is an elongated organized beach with thick pebbles and green waters – a trademark that make its landscape look like a Caribbean coast. Of course, there is the unorganized part that is just as enchanting.
The beach of Agia Pelagia is suitable for families and small children, since the bay where it is hosted forms a small sheltered harbor that always offers calm waters.
they choose it for their sea excursions. Its beauty, the family feeling it offers, the tranquility combined with the fact that the place has not altered – not yet at least – its distinct identity, contribute to being one of the areas that in a few years will be landmarks.
What you need to know is that the beach is amphitheatrically built and all the hotels in the area overlook its beauty.
If you like walking, hiking and exploring the place you will be fascinated since the hills are the best route to discover the place. A walk in the late afternoon will bring you face to face with the unimaginable smells of thyme and sage.
We could say that Agia Pelagia is the place you should choose, if you want your vacation to be full of peace, tranquility and away from mass tourism.
At the same time, you will have the opportunity to enjoy Cretan hospitality and culture in all its extent, since the place remains unchanged in time and tradition.
