Agios Nikolaos is a sun-drenched harbour town on Crete’s eastern coast, where turquoise waters meet cobbled streets and bougainvillea-filled squares. Its tranquil marina, pastel-coloured buildings, and gentle hillside backdrop create a serene, inviting atmosphere. The town offers a harmonious blend of relaxation, local culture, and scenic beauty.

Must-sees:

• Voulismeni Lake: Admire this picturesque lake at the town’s heart, surrounded by cafés and historic buildings.
• Agios Nikolaos Marina: Stroll along the waterfront lined with yachts, restaurants, and vibrant terraces.
• Ancient Olous: Explore nearby archaeological remains of the ancient city that give insight into Crete’s past.
• Local Churches: Discover charming Byzantine churches tucked into winding streets.
• Nearby Beaches: Relax on sandy or pebbled shores just minutes from the town centre.

Culinary culture
Cretan cuisine is celebrated for its freshness and simplicity. Sample seafood caught daily, fragrant olive oils, local cheeses, and traditional meze. Waterfront tavernas and quiet alleyway restaurants alike invite long, leisurely meals paired with crisp local wines or chilled raki, reflecting the island’s warm and generous spirit.

Dive deeper
Cycle or walk along coastal paths, take boat trips to hidden coves, or explore olive groves and vineyards inland. Visit artisan workshops, local markets, or nearby villages to experience authentic Cretan life beyond the harbour. The surrounding landscape offers both tranquillity and adventure for every traveller.

Good to know
The currency is the euro (EUR). Agios Nikolaos is best explored on foot within the town, though a car helps reach beaches, archaeological sites, and hillside villages. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters, making it a year-round destination.
