About Agios Nikolaos
Agios Nikolaos is the stylish capital of Lasithi on Crete's Gulf of Mirabello, built around Lake Voulismeni, a deep circular lagoon linked to the sea by a short channel and ringed by cafes and cliffs. Pedestrian streets climb behind the lake to viewpoints, and the small Kitroplateia beach and seafront promenade are close by. The bay is known for clear water and boat trips, and the town is the base for Elounda and the Venetian fortress island of Spinalonga, a former leper colony.
