As Agios Nikolaos is in Crete, we recommend sailing to some of the other stunning locations on this island, nicknamed the “island of gods”. If you fancy some shopping, nothing beats a day trip to Heraklion, the island’s capital and largest city. For beaches, the heavenly island of Chrissi in the south of Crete has some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.
