Magical Mirabello Bay

Filled with natural wonders, ancient history and a feast of delicious local flavours, Crete ticks every box for an idyllic escape. Greece's largest island juts out of the sea with high mountain peaks at almost 2,500m tall, giving you incredible views over the Cretan ocean below, and Crete's natural beauty captivates every visitor: from the hills in the east to the imposing cliff of Chania in the west, with a new sight to fall in love with at every step.

Mirabello, the largest bay of the Greek islands, is picturesque and enchanting in the northeast part of the sunny island, and along its coast, long sandy beaches and secluded bays alternate with pretty port towns such as Agios Nikolaos with the legendary Voulismeni Lake, as well as a small port. While you'll find plenty of buzzing tavernas and bars in the nearby town, it's also worth taking a short drive a little further along the coast to discover the many charming and quaint villages nearby, where warm hospitality and heavenly views are just some of the delights you'll discover.
