Discover Agia Pelagia
Crete is a very popular holiday destination for many reasons, but when you're visiting an island like this, what's better than staying in a resort that's based in one of the longest inhabited parts of it? Agia Pelagia has been popular with humans of many generations for nearly 4,000 years. That's got to tell you that this is one place that's worth visiting.
Keeping busy on your Agia Pelagia Holiday
Of course just because people have been living and coming here since 2,000 BC doesn't give you the whole picture. This is a modern holiday after all, you want your contemporary facilities, you want your amenities.
The first thing to note is that Psaramoura beach is one of the best on the island. It's compact and private, with plenty of sun beds, and changing sheds, beautiful clear water with a great atmosphere allowing parents or couples to lounge around on the beach, enjoying the sun, or take to the water and enjoy the variety of water sports available. Windsurfing, surfing, bodyboarding, jet skiis water skiis or even a bit of paragliding; these are all there for those that enjoy themselves above the waves.
However, if you want to dive beneath the surface, there's plenty of wildlife to look at if you're a fan of snorkelling and scuba diving, with equipment available to hire for those that don't fancy bringing their own.
If you're in the mood for a bit of local culture, you certainly want to visit the stunning Monastery of Savathiana or head over to Knossos to have a look at the ancient Minoan palace. These locations have some of the best architecture on the entire island and will certainly make for some stunning photographs to show loved ones back home.
Greek cuisine is well famed and for good reason, with Agia Pelagia providing some of the best examples of it throughout the entire island of Crete. However, if you're in the mood for a taste of home or some more international fare, then the local eateries are more than capable of whipping you up something you're more familiar with.
