Places near Aghios Georgios
The pebbly beach of Vlychadia or Vlihadia is situated at a distance of some 31 kilometers far from Agios Nikolaos city at the North, 20 kilometers northern to Elounda and 2-3 kilometers northern to the small village of Skinias and Agios Georgios, from where starts the dirt track leading to the beach. Open to the North, it is affected by the “meltemia” (northern summer winds), but also by any northern wind. The beach is not organised at all; no accommodation facilities or other facilities (food and drink, sea sports etc) are available. The only advantage of the beach is that, being that remote, it is not very popular, and, thus it is usually quiet. Vlichadia, is quite rough and rocky. Especially when it is wavy, swimming could be dangerous.
Access from Agios Nikolaos is possible by rented or private car and motorbikes. There are 2-3 kilometers of dirt track, from the village Skinias to the beach. We will say it is not worth driving up to here only for the beaches. However, you could combine a visit to the beautiful Mirabello with its picturesque villages, the old monasteries and the rare natural beauties with swimming in Vlichadia.
