Cruise offers to the port Agios Nikolaos, Crete / Greece
There are still some traditional, elegant houses in the former fisher village, which, like a wonder, escaped the collapse and today are under monumental protection. Most of them are restaurants or comfortable guesthouses which are located on the hill south of the Voulismeni Lake, where the former Mirabello Fortress of the Venetians used to be. On the main roads and ways there are many bars and shops, but if you step at one of the side roads, it feels like being set back into an earlier century. The famous port is the starting point for a little city tour. Sometimes, here you can find yachts from all over the world. At the Voulismeni Lake there is one tavern after the other. At the port, you can go on ship excursions and there is also a beach. If you have time and interest, you can visit the archaeological musuem of the island. The exhibits are from the modern time of Crete. In the small church of Agios Nikoaous, which is from the byzantine time, interesting frescos from the 10th century are to be seen. A worthwhile day trip is a boatride to the former leprosy-colony on the island Spinalonga.
