The Erimoupoli beach located 26km east of Sitia , just north of the famous palm forest of Vai . The name takes the ancient city of Itanos , which remains in the area. Next to the archaeological site of Itanos are the three consecutive bays with equal number of Erimoupolis beaches.

we don't know Paradise but we have been at Erimoupolis and we think that could be better. The two beaches are so clean and water is wonderful, in the smaller one the sand is soft and the near ruins are very interesting, If you go to Vai I suggest to spend some other time in Erimoupolis that is very close to the famous Palm Beach.

Other reviewers have commented on what the site is about, I just wanted to highlight a few things for other visitors. Sturdy footwear is essential, the paths are not flat! Loose stones, small and large can make walking tricky, so no wheelchair access You need good balance to clamber up the rocky places. The wind was up when we went, dust blowing about, but cooler! No guidebook, some boards around the site. How people ever made a home on this mountain I will never know, creating their homes around the massive rocks.

The Cretan Olive Farm offers you a chance to see how traditional olive farms operated all over the island. Take the tour with the cheesemaking and cooking class - it's excellent value for money and a fabulous way to see how things were on the island. Great for families.

this is definitely worth a visit when in Crete, such peace and quiet and a beautiful little church inside the cave, make sure to wear trainers when walking up to it though, and take a torch

Animal Park specialized in upkeep of endangered parrots.

This is a pretty little zoo containing mainly parrots and some pretty monkeys and goats. It’s well-kept and there is a very relaxed and slow vibe - so quite nice to spend an hour there. And there’s a breezy snack bar with hammock chairs. BUT, you’ll also get the opportunity at 1pm to feed the macaques and the lemurs. The lemurs will jump on your shoulders and rummage in your fruit pot for banana and other treats. Your face will be a picture. They are the gentlest and softest creatures, and they currently have little babies that you can also feed. If you listen carefully to the keepers’ instructions and follow them, you’ll have a blissful half hour with these gorgeous creatures. I’ll never forget it.

Came across Agios Nikolaos by accident, what a little stunner of a town, a few nice shopping streets, a lake where they were doing cliff diving and great little cafes, where the food is wonderful.

We have been coming to Crete for the past 15 years and we traveled all around the island until...we found Agios Nikolaos and Ammoudi Beach. We fell in love with the place. Apart from the amazing scenery, we were attracted by the water sports activities. Amoudi Water Sports is run by the nicest family and it is because of them that we keep coming back. They made our holidays a wonderful experience making us feel like we are part of the family. Every year we have a lot of fun riding the sofa or using the jetski, kayak or SUP. All these are and were done with complete compliance with the rules and regulations. Nikos and Manos are always alert and keeping an eye on what is happening on the beach and we always felt safe there, especially this year!

I visited Crete for the first time this year. The purpose of my visit was to attend my sisters wedding. We stayed in a superb Airbnb in Limassol which was a few miles from We visited MakryGialos almost daily. The service around the tavernas were so welcoming, exceptionally clean and the food was good value for beach snacks and lunches. Dimitri was a perfect host. The beach was beautiful, the waters clear and shallow. Perfect place for family with small children or non swimmers who could happily float comfortably. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and will definitely visit again.
