| Makrigialos area information The quiet traditional resort of Makrigialos is in the far east corner of the island and has now been forsaken by some tour companies, perhaps because of the two hour transfer time from Herakleion airport. The name Makri Gialos means "long sandy beach" It can be approached from the north, via Siteia or the west via Ierapetra, and is still a haven for those seeking a quieter more relaxed holiday. With a backdrop of high mountains and excellent walking trails in the gorges of the area, Makrigialos is an excellent choice for walkers, nature lovers and artists. Traditional villages and ways of life can still be seen, despite the ubiquitous tourist and souvenir shops that always spring up in any resort. There are still only very few in the area. The harbour area is picturesque and surrounded by cottages, some of which are available for rental and the nearby island of Koufonisi can be visited by arrangement with local boatmen. The island was one of the sources of the pink conch shells used to dye the purple robes of the Roman Emperors. Makrigialos has a population of around 1000 people and consists of two settlements Makrigialos and Analipsi. The surrounding mountain villages are seeped in history, with narrow winding street, traditional architecture and a colourful array of geraniums, bougainvillea and vines. With monasteries, long sandy beaches and mountain villages within easy access, the area is a place for exploration, reflection and tranquility |
