Agia Pelagia: The Beach Life

Agia Pelagia is one of the iconic towns in Heraklion, Crete. It is surrounded by various types of beaches, tranquil waters, and the vibrant people who live within its proximity. We thought it would be fun to cite some of the top beaches in Agia Pelagia for your next trip to Heraklion, Crete! But before we even get to that part, let me ask you, what are your plans? Do you even have one? Have you done your homework in finding the cheapest yet comfortable Heraklion apartments? How long are you staying here? Oh, forget about it. Cause it'll be more fun if we sprinkle a spoon of spontaneity to everything, right?

All aboard! Let's discover the top favorite beaches in and near the peaceful coastal town of Agia Pelagia- your next holiday destination!

Agia Pelagia Beach

If you're looking for an organized beach that is perfect for family bondings, Agia Pelagia beach is right in the heart of Heraklion. With all the developed infrastructures around it, without a doubt, Agia Pelagia beach is the most famous and the favorite of many in our list. You have everything that you need for a relaxing holiday at Agia Pelagia beach- resorts, taverns, scuba diving facilities, restaurants, and even luxurious Agia Pelagia hotels. Although, you can't expect much of a 'Mykonos-like' party in this beach, there are genuine seaside cafes where you can still catch a fab night out with your friends.

Koudouma Beach

A secluded beach hiding beyond lush of greens somewhere in between the roads of Sternes and Harakas is our second best beach in Agia Pelagia, the Koudouma beach. A traveler who takes the effort to spend some time off the beaten track is a traveler who can access what other's can't. Don't mind the quite long drive to Koudouma beach cause once you get there, there's no turning back to such precious gem in Crete! The Koudouma beach is not the typical white-sand beach you're thinking of for it own tiny, (almost powdered) black pebbles kissed by the Aegean sea. But still, it offers a laid-back beach life away from the city and from anyone else. So what are the things you can find here? Just trees that would give you shade from the hot afternoon sun and some caves you can sneak into. And oh, there's a little monastery right in front of the beach.

Which beach did you like the most? The organized and populous Agia Pelagia beach? Or the silent sanctuary that is the Koudouma beach? I know, it's hard to even pick a personal favorite! Make sure to include these beautiful beaches in your itinerary the next time you visit Heraklion, Crete!
