Lake Voulismeni in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, JK Tours

Agios Nikolaos & Elounda

65 km from Heraklion, approximately 1 hour

Agios Nikolaos and Elounda: cosmopolitan eastern Crete

Agios Nikolaos is perhaps the most elegant town in Crete. Built around the small lake of Voulismeni, which joins the sea, it has color, cafes and restaurants on the water, and a relaxed cosmopolitan aura that makes it ideal for a full day of strolling. A few kilometers further, Elounda spreads out in a sheltered bay with luxury resorts and the famous lagoon.

From here, boats depart for Spinalonga, the small island with the Venetian fortress and the shocking history. The area combines sea, history and good food like few others in Crete.

How to get there from Heraklion

Agios Nikolaos is about sixty-five kilometers from Heraklion, a comfortable drive of about an hour via the new road, with the sea accompanying you for most of it. Elounda is a few minutes further on.

Με όχημα στη διάθεσή σας συνδυάζετε άνετα και τα δύο σε μία μέρα, σταματάτε όπου θέλετε για μπάνιο στις παραλίες της διαδρομής και δεν περιμένετε δρομολόγια για να γυρίσετε.

What to see and do

Take a tour of Lake Voulismeni and enjoy a coffee by the water. Walk along the picturesque harbor and the alleys with shops. In Elounda, spend time in the lagoon and book a boat to Spinalonga. For swimming, the beaches in the area, from Ammouda to the hidden coves, have clear waters and nice options.
