Istro
Families and couples who prefer beach and pool days with outings in eastern Crete.
Istro’s shoreline east of Agios Nikolaos contains several bays, with Voulisma among the best-known beaches. Restaurants, accommodation and nearby settlements support a holiday focused on time by the sea.
Compare it for beach or pool days and selected drives around eastern Crete, rather than a large shopping or nightlife centre. Check the exact route from each property: an address in the area does not establish a convenient walk to the water.
Our tip
Voulisma can be busy in summer. Compare surrounding coves and check the actual journey from the accommodation to your chosen beach.
