Agios Nikolaos, nestled on the northern coast of Crete, is a captivating blend of tradition and modernity. Its picturesque harbor, surrounded by colorful buildings, invites you to explore its winding streets. Don’t miss the Voulismeni Lake, a mysterious freshwater lake steeped in legends. As the sun sets, the waterfront tavernas come alive, offering delectable seafood and a warm Cretan welcome. Agios Nikolaos also has a rich cultural heritage with its archaeological sites and museums, and a rich religious tradition with its churches and monasteries. Make sure to see the Archaeological Museum (about 10 minutes' walk up the lake) and the Panagia Kera in Kritsa (accessible by car or bus).
