Leisure & Recreation
The Aghios Nikolaos area, where the Blue Palace Resort & Spa is situated, is on the north-east coast of the island, overlooking the beautiful gulf of Mirabello. The Blue Palace Resort & Spa sits opposite the isle of Spinalonga with its medieval fortress founded in 1579 by the Venetian benefactor Luca Michiel. Aghios Nikolaos, 12 km from the hotel, is an international and cosmopolitan charming town with its dramatic Voulismeni Lake connected to the sea and lined with cafes, tavernas, fishing boats and caiques.
Elounda (3 km) is smaller and more relaxed than its neighbor town. The harbor shelters both fishing boats and caiques which run out to Spinalonga. Its magical environment satisfies even the most discerning of visitors.
A must is of course Knossos, Crete’s famous Minoan Palace and the Iraklion Archaeological Museum, which houses rich collections of finds from the Minoan civilization, jewelry and artwork, including original frescoes from Knossos.
Other interesting excursions are the Plateau of Lassithi, with its thousands windmills and the legendary Dikti Cave, the Byzantine Church Panagia Kera, at the entrance to the picturesque village of Kritsa or Lato, an archaeological site in very good condition and with fantastic panoramic view.
Crete is an ideal destination for your holidays, whether you want to explore archaeological sites, sit lazily in the sun or in traditional tavernas or go walking and biking. Crete offers tremendous variety in splendid scenery and will undoubtedly bewitch you.
