 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.
