A few days before Christams in Crete



Ten days before Christmas and the weather continues to be almost summer although the island is adorned and the Christmas mood is diffused into the atmosphere.

Going for a coffee in Agios Nikolaos, what I saw was a dream. Reaching there,  the view of the whole town with its magnificent lagoon, makes you feel like entering a painting, becoming a part of it.

Agios Nikolaos is one of the most picturesque cities in eastern Crete and literally an ornament in the bay of Merambello. Wherever I look I see green pine trees that throw their shadow into the lake turning the waters into blue-green.

How quiet is this city now in winter, while during summer is bustling with life and offers unforgettable holidays. With its splendid beaches (Αlmyros, Ammudi…), the beautiful hiking routes it offers and the opportunity to visit many sights such as Panagia Kera, Monastery of Faneromeni..., is an ideal destination for all tastes.

Agios Nikolaos,  has its own harbor and is connected with many daily routes with the city of Heraklion, one hour away.


I could say that this city is resting the eyes and the soul.
