Mochlos
is a small island in the Bay of Mirabello, some 40 km east of Agios
Nikolaos. The
little fishing village opposite the island has the same
name and is famous among Cretans for its specialities served in the
local harbour tavernas. In Minoan times Mochlos was an important port in
Eastern Crete and still now one can take a small boat to the island,
which lies only 150 metres off the bay, to visit the
excavations of that
time. Today Mochlos is a
peaceful little village with a picturesque
harbour and
crystal clear waters and it is therefore an ideal spot for
those travellers who are looking for a quieter holiday.
The bays around
Mochlos are mainly rocky and great for snorkelling and one can find a
small shingle and a sandy beach in the area.
