Agia Pelagia: One of the Most Popular Destinations

In the summer, everyone gathers in Agia Pelagia for its beach and charming cafés and tavernas. It is a destination offering numerous options, including hotels, guesthouses, and opportunities for water sports such as diving.

The settlement derived its name from the icon of a saint discovered in a cave north of the area, known as Evresi.

During the summer months, residents of Heraklion and beyond flock to its beautiful beach with its fine sand and calm and crystal-clear waters, easily accessible by car via the A90 with an exit for Agia Pelagia.

Visitors can marvel at the houses of the settlement with their unique and colourful architecture, constructed amphitheatrically, facing the sea, especially the bay that protects the beach from the winds.

The beach spreads over an area of 450 metres and is ideal for romantic walks.
