Makrigialos (“Long Beach”) occupies its own bay in South East Crete, 25kms (30 minutes drive) east of Ierapetra, along a coastline of secluded coves and fine quiet easy to get to beaches, and 35kms south of Sitia in the Lassithi region. It is easily accessible from both of Crete's airports at Heraklion and Sitia, with its picturesque harbour and promenade, waterside tavernas, restaurants and cafes, the village is lively but still unspoiled. Its beautiful bay, long sandy beach and crystal clear water are matched by the friendly local hospitality.
Behind lie rolling hills with delightful panoramic views from out of the way villages where you can experience genuine ethnic cuisine. The many nearby attractions include the gorges of Pefki, Dasaki and Pevrolakia, water-park at Ierapetra, day boat trip to nearby Lefki island, wine-tasting at the Kaspa monastery and traditional Cretan evenings in Pefki. Makrigialos also plays host to a popular music festival in June.
