Nestled on the eastern shores of Crete and steeped in history, Agios Nikolaos has been attracting travellers since its settlement in the late Bronze Age. Named after Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and Greece, the town sprawls across the ancient city of Lato pros Kamara and boasts fascinating archaeological sites nearby, including Priniatikos Pyrgos. Famed for its beautiful Lake Voulismeni, pristine beaches, and charming surrounding villages, Agios Nikolaos rose to international prominence in the 1960s, when it was discovered by renowned cinema directors, producers, and more.

Easily accessible from both Heraklion and Sitia airports, Agios Nikolaos is an ideal base to explore the Lassithi region. Get inspired by the town's attractions, such as the archaeological museum, Agioi Pantes island, and local flora exhibition "Iris" before venturing out to experience the many fairs and cultural events this bustling hub has to offer.

When to visit Agios Nikolaos

Boasting mild weather all year round and warm summers, Agios Nikolaos welcomes visitors between June and September for the most ideal conditions. During these sun-filled months, temperatures often reach around 85°F (29.4°C) in the early days of August. Unsurprisingly, May, July, and August are also the driest months, perfect for soaking up the sun on one of the town's many picturesque beaches.

For a more budget-conscious getaway, consider visiting in the cooler months between September and December, when hotel prices drop and there's a pleasant mix of temperatures between 69°F (20.6°C) and 51.7°F (10.9°C). With the lowest hotel prices in May, an early summer break to Agios Nikolaos guarantees the charm of this mesmerising holiday destination without breaking the bank.
