About 21 Km west of Heraklion, one can visit the beach of Agia Pelagia. You can get to
this small village by car or more easily using the bus services from Heraklion.
There are many accommodation choices, taverns and restaurants, ATM's and super markets and
all of them located within walking distance of the main beach of Agia Pelagia.
It is a narrow sandy beach with many sunbeds and umbrellas. The waters are shallow and
the beach is often crowded. Popular among locals who like to combine a swim with a tasty
lunch or a cocktail in one of the beach bars, it is also a popular destination among tourists.
Make sure that you take a walk to Psaromoura beach, which is a small distance away.
Whether if you are the party type or you prefer a nice swim then Agia Pelagia is the place
to be.
