Agios Georgios
Im südlichen Teil Kretas, außerhalb vom Dorf Agia Galini, erstreckt sich der Strand von Agios Georgios. Weg vom Lärm und Trubel zeichnet sich dieser Strand durch seinen unberührten Strand mit blauem, kristallklarem Wasser aus und bietet sich damit ideal für erholsame Ferien an.
Auf den Weg nach Agios Georgios erwarten Sie viele Fahrtrouten, die zu kleinen Klöstern und ruhigen Kieselstränden führen.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Akoumia beach
Ein großer Strand mit Kieselsteinen direkt neben dem von Triopetra. Das Wasser wird schnell tiefer. Bei Wind ist dieser Strand nicht zu empfehlen.
The gorge of Samaria
The gorge of Samaria is the second most visited tourist attraction on Crete (following the Minoan palace of Knossos) and by far the most popular walk. More than a quarter million people walk through the gorge every year from May to October. In winter the gorge is closed to visitors due to danger posed by water and falling stones.
The Samaria gorge is the longest one in Europe. It is an area of stunning natural beauty. Rare flora and fauna have survived in this area and are protected. The mountains that have formed it are wild, high and steep. One will pass through forests of ancient cypresses and pines and descend between vertical cliffs. The path starts from Xyloskalo (near Omalos) in the White Mountains at an altitude of 1230 meters and comes to an end at the village of Agia Roumeli at the Libyan sea. Walking through the gorge usually takes anything from 3 to 5 hours (excluding the breaks).
Saint Georges beach
Ein wunderschöner Strand direkt neben Agia Galini, den man mit dem Auto, mit dem Boot oder zu Fuß in etwa einer Stunde erreichen kann.
Agiofarago
Agiofarago Canyon is located in south of Odigitria Monastery is very scenic and accessed only on foot. Its name indicates that it was used by many hermits who stayed here because of the isolation of the area.
Rouva forest
The holly grove of Rouvas is located 55km south of Heraklion and 16km north of Gergeri village, in one of the most rugged and secluded parts of Crete. This isolation is the main reason for its existence, since humans have fortunately not destroyed that like all the other lost forests of Crete.
Rouvas forest develops in a small - depression - plateau at the southern part of Psiloritis mountain. One can approach the forest either from Gergeri village through the forest road, or from Nida Plateau again through a forest road or even by walking in the European hiking trail E4, starting from the Zaros lake, crossing the amazing Gorge of Agios Nikolaos and reaching the forest after 2 hours.
Knossos
Ohne Zweifel ist Knossos einer von den drei wichtigsten Orten in Griechenland. Das Schloss von Knossos war das politische, religiöse, militärische, kommerzielle und administrative Zentrum vom minoischen Kreta.
