A small cove named after a lonely sailor, with turquoise water and a rock just offshore.

Mononaftis means lonely sailor, after a local story about a shipwreck where only one man survived. The beach is a small cove of coarse sand and pebbles with sunbeds, and the rocky seabed is great for snorkelling. The rock that gave the beach its name sticks out of the water about 50 metres from the shore.

A beach bar provides sunbeds, drinks and snacks, and there's a dive centre nearby that runs trips along this rocky coastline. The cove can get busy in high season because it is small, but it has a nice atmosphere and a good view of the sunset.

Malevizi is the area west of Heraklion, with the resorts of Agia Pelagia and Lygaria on a coast of small, sheltered bays. Inland, the villages of Fodele, Tylissos and Kroussonas climb towards the slopes of Psiloritis, with orange groves, olive trees and vineyards. Fodele claims to be the birthplace of El Greco, and Tylissos has Minoan villas. The coast is great for snorkelling and diving, and the area is close to Heraklion yet feels calm.

Heraklion is the heart of Minoan Crete and the island’s busiest region. Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum are the two places almost everyone visits, and they work well together on one day. In the south, the wide Messara plain holds the palace of Phaistos, the Roman ruins of Gortyna and the famous caves above the bay of Matala. Περισσότερα για Ηράκλειο
