The little seaside resort of Makrigialos,
25 km east of the lively town of Ierapetra on the Libyan Sea, is an ideal
spot for a relaxing beach holiday. The village is named after the long
stretch of sandy beach, which, with its shallow waters, offers safe swimming
for children. Makrigialos has a good choice of tavernas, cafes and bars
and the little harbour with its
traditional fishing boats is a favourite meeting point for locals and
visitors. Enjoy fresh fish and local specialities looking out over the
blue sea, stroll along the small promenade or have a coffee in one of the
Cretan kafenions. The authentic little villages in the hills behind Makrigialos
are worth a visit and there are regular bus connections to the larger towns
like
Ierapetra and Sitia. |
