Voulisma Beach
Voulisma Beach 3639 hits
The second bay of Istron village is located 500m east of the village very close to the main road from Agios Nikolaos city to Sitia - Ierapetra area. Here is one of the most beautiful beaches of Greece, which is featured in many card postals of Crete.It is a beautiful sandy beach with blue-green crystal clear sea. The beach offers full facilities for swimming, sunbathing (umbrellas, sunbeds etc.), and sea sport. It is very popular.
 
The small town of Istron - some 10km south of Agios Nikolaos - lays claim to a number of cove beaches, each separated by large land peninsulas jutting out into the bay of Mirabello .The area - which is unique in natural beauty - is surrounded by sea, creating beaches of special beauty, some of which are small voes while others are big ones. There are beaches of different kind, some have pebbles, some other have sands, some are completely organized while others are not. The diversity of beaches gives the visitor the opporunity to choose where to go according to his preference.
 
Voulisma or Golden Beach is a beautiful beach with white sand and amazing turquoise waters. The few times that it is wavy, you can move to the smaller beach in the west part of the bay, which is very well protected from winds and less organized.
 
Voulisma, or ‘Golden Beach’, a gorgeous narrow stretch of white sand backing onto relatively low, olive-clad cliffs. With a blue flag award to its name, Voulisma beach is a great all-rounder. It’s not uniquely different to many other beaches in Greece, but it does provide everything you need for a family-orientated beach holiday – soft sand with few pebbles, crystal waters, gentle shelving, and a couple of places to buy an ice cream. For these reasons, Voulisma Beach can get pretty packed in the height of summer.
 
If you need relief from the crowds, head to the nearby ‘Agios Panteleimonas Beach’, which offers more beach space, even if it is slightly less beautiful than its rival a kilometre to the east. Unfortunately, Voulisma Beach is only reached by steep stairs, so disabled access is extremely limited.

Pilos 2795 hits
The awarded beach Pilos or Istron Bay is in front of the small luxurious hotel Istron Bay, 13 kms east from the picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos and 2 kms away from the next village Istron. An easy to access beach with sand and pebbles, very well equipped and safe to approach the sea, ideal for children. While it seems as private, there is a path leading to the beach starting from the west of the hotel. Furthermore, you should keep in mind that there are no private beaches in Greece. The beach is sandy and has calm blue waters. Istron Bay is the last beach by Istron area on the way to Sitia and just 400m farfrom Voulisma beach to west..

Very close to it two first aid stations, one belonging to a well organized diving centre, the telephone, and the beach restaurant of the hotel with Cretan and Mediterranean cuisine. Pilos is a particular beautiful beach, quiet and isolated optically from the hotel by a steep cliff of a sandy hill with sea pines. It has been praised repeatedly by the Greek and International Press for the unique colours of the sea.

Vrokastro 2726 hits
The coastal route from Aghios Nikolaos city, district of Lassithi,  to the village of Kavousi is very interesting. But the mountainous landscape to the south of this road hides some noteworthy places. The first is the Minoan settlement at Vrokastro, on a hill 1,500 metres south of the village of Istro. It was here that the American archaeologist Edith Hall excavated in 1910-12 the ruins of a late-Minoan period settlement which seems to have been inhabited until the Geometric Period (11th-8th centuries BC).There is no road leading to the archaeological site, so if you want to climb up here (300 m high), you will have to leave your motorcycle and take the path that begins just before the small sign marked ‘’13 km’’ along the road from Agios Nikolaos to Sitia. The climb is not as tiring as you might think, and you will certainly enjoy a beautiful view from up here, and a solitary tour of the (rather poor) ruins of the ancient city.
