The next port to talk about in this guide is the beautiful stop that is Agios Nikolaos. Agios Nikolaos is positioned on the north eastern side of the Crete Island. In the middle of the city is Lake Voulismeni, the renowned bottomless lake (it’s really just very very deep). Visitors can find luscious places to eat in any one of the many petite cafes, or find a revitalizing drink at one of the several cafes and bars that are to be found along the bank on the Lake. While doing a tour Agios Nikolaos, there are a number of activities you can participate in. For those who are looking to chill out on the warm sandy beach and enjoy the sun, there are plenty of beaches in the region.

One of the premier beaches in the area is the Almiros. It is private and fairly undisturbed so great place to unwind after you walking. Kitroplatias is another beautiful and peaceful beach to visit. Many of the area’s coves are isolated and provide privacy from the hustle and bustle as well. One cove is the Kalo Chorio. Other sightseeing adventures include a tour to the Knossos Palace and a visit to the Nikolaos Church, which is a tiny and unique Byzantine chapel. So as you can see there is an amazing selection of things to do and soak up on your cruises to the Greek island of Crete. Hope aboard your Princess Cruise today and bask in the Mediterranean Sun.
