A delightful blue flag beach is only a 5 minute walk away. Makrigialos, which is easily accessible from both of Crete's airports at Heraklion and Sitia, has a picturesque harbour and promenade with waterside tavernas, restaurants and cafes. Behind the village lie beautiful Cretan hills and mountains with out of the way tavernas serving traditional Cretan cuisine. All along the coast are fine beaches and secluded coves.
