Bay view apartments are next to the beautiful unspoilt Lagada Beach and less than a mile away is the popular Makrigialos (long beach) ideal for couples and families with waterside bars, tavernas and restaurants. There is a long sandy blue flag beach that is shallow and ideal for smaller children to play and nearby is a picturesque harbour. This tranquil village comes alive at night with numerous tavernas and bars serving delicious food from local produce and the fish dishes are particularly recommended, but this is not an overly commercial resort and continues to provide the true flavour of Cretan life. There are around 340 days of sunshine a year so it’s not surprising that visitors return year after year.
There are a wide range of water sports including scuba diving,fishing,sailing etc.Other attractions are Diaskari Beach,remains of a Roman Villa and Minoan Villa,walks to Cretan Village and Pefki Gorge.Further afield are the Water Park at Ierapetra and museum at Agio Nikolaos.
