    agia pelagia

    Posted by agiapelagia 9 May 2010

    Agia Pelagia is a small fishing village which doesn't really qualify as a mainstream tourist resort - and that's a good thing. Situated 23 km west of Heraklion, it has a rich history going back to Minoan times when, because of its strategic and sheltered location, it was an important harbour.

    Nestled in the curve of a wide bay at the foot of a hill, its picturesque setting was noticed by a few intrepid businessmen who understood the area's potential in the burgeoning tourism industry of Crete. Slowly but surely, hotels and restaurants were built but never too many and so the area has kept its charm. Today, it is a popular destination for families and couples who prefer a quieter getaway.
    Near Agia Pelagia is the small hotel&aparts Villa Bellevue built just over the beach of Ligaria.
    The hotel is nestled at an idyllic spot in Agia Pelagia.
