A quiet resort village with a little harbour and small beaches between Malia and Agios Nikolaos.
Sissi has a pretty fishing harbour with bars and tavernas and a mostly rocky coast with small sandy spots. It stays calm despite its popularity.
The coast is mostly rocky, with a few small beaches and swimming platforms. The water is very clear. Nearby, the Minoan palace of Malia and the Milatos cave are worth a visit. Sissi is a good base for a calm holiday.
Agios Nikolaos is the capital of Lasithi, built around a lake and a harbour on the beautiful Mirabello gulf. The area includes Elounda, Plaka and the island of Spinalonga to the north, and Kritsa, Lato and the Katharo plateau in the hills behind. The coast has many small beaches and calm bays, and the town is lively in the evening with cafes and restaurants around the lake. Boats leave for Spinalonga and trips around the bay.
Lasithi, the eastern end of Crete, is quieter and greener than you might expect. Agios Nikolaos wraps around a small lake and a lively harbour, with cafés on the water and beaches within walking distance. Just north, Elounda and Plaka look across to the fortress island of Spinalonga, one of the most moving places on the island. Περισσότερα για Λασίθι
