Many Thanks
for the informations
to the municipality
of Agios Nikolaos
in Crete

Save on your hotel, spend on yourself
AGIOS NIKOLAOS-CRETE
info for all the villages

  • Municipality
    of Aghios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece
    is known for
    the amazing beauty
    of its villages.
    The  villages
    of the Municipality
    of Aghios Nikolaos  are:


  • Pines village,

    Pines is situated above Pano Elounda on the road to Neapoli, with its windmills and traditional architecture. It is approximately five minutes from Elounda Schisma by car.


  • Plaka village,

    Plaka is a traditional fishing village, with amazing view to
    the Spinalonga Island. Plaka is famous for the good quality fish restaurants near the sea and small hotels and tavernas. The beaches are small but uncrowded. Tourist boats depart from Plaka to Spinalonga 
    on a daily basis.
    The one way boat passage requires approximately
    ten minutes.


  • Vrouchas village,

    Visiting Vrouchas
    is rather like stepping back
    in time – the village is refreshingly untouched by commercialism,
    and remains largely undiscovered
    by tourists.
    Like many small villages on the island, Vrouchas has a beautiful mountain setting, surrounded by olive groves and wooded hills.
    This part of the island is steeped in history - according to legend, this part of Crete was the birthplace of the most important
    of Greek gods, Zeus. There are several villas to rent in and around the village and a few traditional tavernas.


  • Skinias village,

    On the northwestern edge of the municipality is located the district of Skinias which, according to the 1991 census is composed of the settlements of Saint George, Baltos or Bartos, and Hontobolakus.

  • Loumas village, 

    On the plain of Loumas there are the two settlements of Pano and Kato Seles - the name means 'nape of the hillside'. Views here are superb and take in a magnificent panorama of the Cretan Gulf. From Seles there is a dirt track, which runs down to a small rocky beach, which is excellent for sun bathing - take a blow up mattress or lilo as the compacted sand is very hard!

  • Lenika village,

    Village is located half way (4,5km) between the two seaside towns of Agios Nikolaos and Elounda on the highest point
    of the road.
    In the village are the ruins
    of a temple
    to Aries
    and Aphrodite.


  • Limnes village,

    At the edge of the plain of Mirabello, under “Maha Hill”, the village of Limnes is located. Its name probably originated from
    the geographical phenomena of the many lakes which form after rainfall, resulting in a fertile and productive agricultural area.
    It is the village with the greatest number of houses, many of which have been abandoned in recent times.


  • Zenia village,

    Located at a height of 750m, ten kilometres west
    of Aghios Nikolaos, beyond the cultivated valley
    of Drasi.


  • Mesa & Exo potami

    The most mountainous villages of the region lie
    on the road to
    the Lassithi Plateau.
    These settlements were built in the ravines and on the slopes of Mount Selenas (names for the moon or 'selini'). Hundreds of large and small springs
    of clear fresh water irrigate the plains where lush vegetation includes apple and walnut trees, vineyards
    and a variety
    of vegetables.

  • Potami village,

    This village
    is reached
    by travelling through a beautiful wooded area of pines, which were included in the Venetian census
    of the 16th century.
    In spring time the area is a paradise for orchid lovers.


  • Katharo village,

    A wonderful place
    for botanists and bird watchers, this Plateau is reached by continuing to climb from Kritsa. It was here that scientists discovered fossils of elephants and dwarf hippopotamus, although today the visitor will see only large flocks of goats and sheep.
    In early summer, the Plateau is covered with the snow-like blossoms of the hundreds of fruit trees planted here and in autumn the vines are weighed down with large clusters of black and white grapes.
    There are several traditional tavernas.

  • Tapes villages,

    This is one of the oldest villages
    of the area -
    it has been continuously inhabited since Minoan times,
    for proof of this takes a look
    at the ruins in
    the Kasteras area
    .


  • Kroustas village ,

    It is build on a hill 520 meters above the sea level. Kroustas is known for its magnificent view over the Mirabelo bay of the east Crete. It is also known for its traditional cuisine including myzithropites (special cheese pies) and aiga vrasti
    (boiled goat). Characteristic
    of Kroustas is the smell of Raki distilery in October, the dry but cool summers, the dry and rocky landscape and the old ladies with the black scarfs and the wrinkled faces. What could you buy from Kroustas? Pure food like honey, almonds, wallnuts, myzithra (soft sour cheese) and raki (localy distilled spirit).


  • Mesa + Exo Lakonia,

    Situated at the south end
    of the municipality
    of Aghios Nikolaos, the area was inhabited in Minoan times,
    as can be seen
    by the settlement ruins at Fioretzides village.


  • Prina village,

    This village
    is reached by travelling through a beautiful wooded area of pines, which were included in the Venetian census
    of the 16th century.
    In spring time the area is a paradise for orchid lovers.

  • ELOYNDA TODAY

    In Elounda today there are 2,200 inhabitants in six settlements, the majority of whom live in Skisma,
    and are involved in the tourism business. An event which played an important role
    in the promotion of Elounda was the filming there
    of the Disney film
    "The Fringes of the Moon", in 1964.
    It is from this time that tourism commenced,
    but at a gentle pace.
    The major push in the development of the tourism industry began with the arrival of Eleni Nakou
    and the brothers Spiros and George Kokotos. In 1969, the construction
    of the luxury hotel, The Elounda Beach, started. This was followed
    by the building
    of the Asteras,
    The Elounda Mare,
    Porto Elounda, The Elounda Peninsula and The Elounda Rock hotels. These luxury hotels annually accommodate prominent representatives of the world’s social, economic and political life.

    The people of Elounda, working in cooperation, have brought their athletic and cultural associations
    to the highest levels. The Development Association
    of Elounda has been
    in operation since 1975, and does valuable work
    on the promotion of the local culture of the area. There is a Cretan Dance and Musical Instrument School, and Eloundans successfully organize
    a Traditional Fish Festival that takes place
    in Pano Elounda, and since 1998, a concert
    in Spinalonga where popular Greek artists perform. Since 1992,
    the important promotional newspaper "Elounda"
    has been published.
    The Athletic Association "Korfos Elounda" was founded in 1979 and plays a leading part in recent years in Lassithi football, gaining many distinctions.

    CRETANS SECRET
    of longetivity

    For Cretans,
    the secret of longevity
    is very simple.
    They eat anything
    that their rich soil produces! They consume a lot of fruit, vegetables, greens, fresh produce, legumes, cheese and bread.
    They scent the taste
    with marvelous herbs
    like oregano, they make desserts with natural sweetening materials,
    honey and molasses,
    and accompany their meal with excellent local wine. 
    In Crete are many restaurants and taverns
    that offer traditional cretan recipes, using only pure, natural local ingredients. There are also traditional stores, from where you can buy authentic products
    of the Cretan earth.

    So don’t miss,
    during your stay in Crete, to taste all the island’s traditional recipes.

    The "Blue Flag" is the international symbol of quality of a well organized beach.
    The "Blue Flags Program" is a Program for Environmental Sensitivity and Protection of The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) that occurs every year on a grand scale in over 35 countries in Europe and other places around the world.

    The awarding of Blue Flag status to a beach is no easy task. The beach must fulfill 27 strict criteria in relation to the cleanliness of the sea and the beach itself, the organization of the beach and the safety of its visitors, the protection of nature and the environment.
    For a marina there are 22 criteria.
