  • What’s it like in Agios Nikolaos?
    A walk through Agios Nikolaos on the Greek Island of Crete. Leaving the rain and wind of Wales for a week of Cretian sunshine.
    Apologies to the locals for the poor pronunciation of the name.
    The tour of Agios Nikolaos takes us from the Almyros Beach near the Miramare Hotel and along the coast into the centre of town.
    On the way, we go past the marina and the town square and to the area of Agios Nikolaos known as the lake. This pretty area is surrounded by bars and restaurants.
    Agios Nikolaos is on the eastern side of Crete on Mirabello Bay and only about 50 minutes from Heraklion Airport.

Also worked in a bistro and a car rental company. It looks as if ag nik has changed a lot since 94. We sometimes drank in the Royal and Roxy bars, doesn't look as if they are still there.

    We just came from that hotel, ppl that work at the restaurant are amazing, we had half-board. Beach was too rocky to our liking, since we had rental car we traveled to a sandy beaches, but the hotel has two nice pools as well …overall very positive experience. 😊

    Lovely vlog. Could I ask do you book the flights and hotel independently yourselves or do you book through Travel Agents. We are interested to visit but looking for the best way price wise. I’ve never booked myself, always used a travel company

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, we booked this trip ourselves and usually we do book our own flights and accommodation direct with the hotel. Although last year, we did book complete holiday packages withJet2 as they started flying from near us.

      The beach is not their private beach but the closest to the hotel. It's about 5 minutes away and we did have to rent them.
