If you decide to travel around Crete, do not forget to visit the northern coast, Agios Nikolaos (also Agios Nikolaos), the capital of the Lassithi prefecture. Its name comes from the Byzantine chapel located in the Gulf of Agios Nikolaos. Another famous name that is still used by the inhabitants of the surrounding villages is Gialos.
You can order the transfer which helps you in moving around the island, with which you can easily and quickly get to Ayios Nikolaos.
This is a beautiful quiet town, which the Cretans simply call "holy." The city was built in the Mandraki region in the western side of the large bay of Mirabello. At the beginning of the last century, the city turned into a picturesque tourist resort with a developed infrastructure, beautiful beaches, calm and scenic views.
Agios Nikolaos has a typical Mediterranean climate with mild winters, dry summers and occasional rains. The hottest months are summer, when temperatures exceed 25 degrees, and sometimes even 40 degrees. The water temperature during this period is also high - from 20 to 25 degrees.
