About the area
Seen as the quieter and perhaps less discovered side of the island it’s still pretty easy to get to with daily flights into Heraklion airport from the UK taking about four hours. The coastline here has a light dusting of tourist towns, the largest being Agios Nikolaos home to a lovely harbour and plenty of restaurants.
But there are also more laid back options like Lerapetra that are worth exploring. Inland you’ll find some gorgeous hidden away town and villages like Neapoli and Kritsa where you can taste traditional food and amble around the craft shops.
