Agios Nikolaos Essentials

Agios Nikolaos centers on Lake Voulismeni, a former freshwater basin now linked to the Aegean Sea. This region features the Venetian fortress of Spinalonga, which served as a leper colony until 1957. Archaeological highlights include the Dorian city-state of Lato and the well-preserved Minoan town of Gournia. Natural landmarks range from the turquoise waters of Vulisma Beach to the rugged hiking trails of Kritsa Gorge. The area also preserves significant religious art within the 13th-century Panagia Kera and the historical Milatos Cave.
