Aghia Pelagia

 

Back to Crete Map

 

A modern tourist village, about 20 km west of Heraklion (a 30 minute journey), stretching along the shores of an attractive sheltered bay, which is beautifully protected from the occasional summer winds. It is the long beach with enticing golden sand, and white shingle that accounts for the popularity of Agia Pelagia as a resort. This former fishing village with its quiet small bays is ideal for surfing, water skiing, and scuba diving. There are friendly tavernas, shops and bars, which make this a great place to unwind and to have a wonderful holiday.

 

There is a regular bus service to Heraklion, with its bustling town life, 20 km away.  It’s a good position from which to set off sightseeing, or to explore some of the more interesting villages. Particularly worthwhile, are for example the Archeological museum of Heraklion, the famous Minoan Palace at Knossos, and a trip to Rethymno with its old Venetian and Turkish quarter, and picturesque harbour.
