Agios Nikolaos 

Agios Nikolaos is located on the eastern part of Crete, a beautiful and charming town situated in the Mirabello Bay and serving as the capital of the Lasithi region.
The town is less hectic than some of Crete's larger cities like Heraklion and Chania, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a relaxed holiday.
Agios Nikolaos is known for its laid-back atmosphere, cultural attractions, and scenic surroundings, with several lovely beaches that make it a popular destination for tourists. It also serves as a great base for exploring eastern Crete, such as the Lasithi Plateau, the village of Kritsa, and nearby monasteries and natural areas.
   
Voulismeni Lake is the town’s most iconic landmark, a small freshwater lake located in the heart of the city. The lake is steeped in myth, with stories claiming that the goddess Athena bathed there.
It is connected to the sea by a short canal, giving it a picturesque appearance. The lake is surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and shops where you can find everything from leather goods to olive oil and local products.

The harbor in Agios Nikolaos is cozy and features a beautiful promenade where visitors can enjoy views of the many boats, the crystal-clear water, and the surrounding mountains.
From the harbor, you can sail to other Greek islands and the mainland. You can also take an excursion to Spinalonga, a small island with a fascinating history as a Venetian fortress and a former leper colony. Spinalonga is a site of great historical significance and an unforgettable experience for visitors.
