Land for sale in Agios Nikolaos Crete Location Information:

Different to all other towns in Crete, Agios Nikolaos manages to mix – upon the three hills which support its girth – an arty, leisurely, sleepy and yet also bustling place.

Agios Nikolaos is a medium-size town with a small-town feel, one that has lots to offer … with rich history too.

The town sits partially upon the ruins of the ancient city of Lato pros Kamara.

The Voulismeni Lake, the town’s jewel and one of the landmarks, is known for its many legends, according to one of Greek Mythology, Athena and Artemis are bathing in its waters. The sweet water lake becomes one with the sea through a narrow canal and is surrounded by red rock formations and lush vegetation. Around the lake, there are several bars and restaurants making the place pretty animated at night.

The town has three faces to the sea: The Lake and port, Kitroplatia beach and the Marina. Its unique features, start with the lake (“Voulismeni”), a folklore-inspiringly deep body of water that is connected to the sea by a narrow inlet. It is surrounded and overlooked by cafes and restaurants – a busy gathering place for local residents and visitors alike.

As the lake joins the sea with a strip of water under the tiny road bridge and becomes one with it, the microscopic island of Agii Pandes (All Saints) is in view – adding another facet to the three sides of the town. Ferries come and go from the open port area just beyond.

Next, the beach at Kitroplatia is one of the few in Crete to provide that town-center-by-the-sea beach location, together with its own original restaurant and cafes and a handful of hotels and apartments.

There are shops with original items on offer, from woven fabrics to cups, mugs, and china wear and a miscellany of clothes, house decor, and local food products and delicacies. Agios Nikolaos – apart from being a summer draw for visitors – is for the most part open in winter. Yes, people live, love, and learn here, grow up, function, and work year-round.

Agios Nikolaos is equally magical at night. There are numerous bars, with a relaxed atmosphere and loud music, that attract the younger crowds. The town of Agios Nikolaos is a beautiful place with open-hearted people!
