In a nutshell

Add a pearl from the depths of Minoan civilization to your sea pearls: you are on the Blue Flag beach of Ammoudara. Here you will find sunbeds and umbrellas ready and waiting for you, but don't miss out on a stroll on the golden sand or a dip in the same waters that rocked the father of all gods. Take a break amid ancient myths and Mediterranean beauty.

Main stops

Ammoudara beach

The programme

All you need is a towel, sunscreen and a longing for the sea. On Ammoudara beach, we'll take care of all the beach comforts for you: sunbeds and umbrellas await!
Treasure at the bottom of the sea? You don't need to go looking for it. Here, you're surrounded by a true Blue Flag gem, looking out over the Gulf of Heraklion.
And the beach? Ammoudara means “great sands”, 7km of beach framed by Mediterranean scrub:hills dotted with blue and white houses and centuries-old Cretan olive trees.
Could your relaxing break get any better than this? Yes, if you treat yourself to a truly mythical swim: you'll be able to say that you took a dip in the waves described by Homer.
Or if you prefer to stretch your legs while breathing in the fresh sea air, wander along the soft sand and remember: you're on an island of legends. Did you know that Zeus, the father of the Olympian gods, was born here?
