Ammoudara: One of the Most Popular Summer Destinations

Ammoudara is just a stone's throw away from Heraklion, making it easily accessible. When summer arrives, it becomes a hot favourite among the young crowd, boasting a vibrant scene with numerous bars and restaurants. 

The beach extends over a magnificent 7-kilometre stretch, offering a diverse experience. You can find bustling beach bars and lively crowds, but there are also secluded sections with pristine sand that are perfect for those seeking solitude and isolation.

The area owes its name to the vast expanse of sand that stretches along the entire length of the beach. The gentle slope of the seabed makes it a preferred choice for families seeking a safe spot for their little ones' first swims.

One great advantage of the area is that visitors can find everything they need within Ammoudara itself, including hotels, supermarkets, banks, and more.
