Discover the Charms of Famous Makrigialos!

Makrigialos stands proudly as one of the most sought-after summer resorts in all of Crete. Renowned for its long sandy beaches, this idyllic destination draws in thousands of local and international visitors each year, all eager to bask in its beauty and charm.

Just a few decades ago, Makrigialos was a humble fishing village with a sparse population, mainly functioning as a transit hub for agricultural goods and livestock.

However, its pristine natural landscape was not overlooked, and today, it has transformed into a must-visit destination.

The quaint and picturesque harbour of Makrigialos provides an abundant supply of fresh fish to the local tavernas. Moreover, during the summer months, visitors can enjoy day trips to others destinations.
