Agia Pelagia

Agia Pelagia beach. The main Agia Pelagia beach is a favourite amongst tourists travelling with families. The beach is sandy, dotted here and there with chairs and umbrellas to accommodate visitors who would rather lounge about than swim. Though the waters become deep so near the shore, there is a plate of rock where children can stay safely. Visitors who want to learn diving and other water sports will not find a lack of instructors in the area. For refreshments, there are various taverns and cafes fronting the beach.

Review by Anonymous on 7/3/2010
Agia Pelagia is a small fishing village which doesn't really qualify as a mainstream tourist resort - and that's a good thing. Situated 23 km west of Heraklion, it has a rich history going back to Minoan times when, because of its strategic and sheltered location, it was an important harbour. Nestled in the curve of a wide bay at the foot of a hill, its picturesque setting was noticed by a few intrepid businessmen who understood the area's potential in the burgeoning tourism industry of Crete. Slowly but surely, hotels and restaurants were built but never too many and so the area has kept its charm. Today, it is a popular destination for families and couples who prefer a quieter getaway.
