LYGARIA BEACH ON CRETE
Lygaria beach lies a 20 to 30 minutes walk eastwards from the small tourist resort of Agia Pelagia, which is 25 km west of Heraklion. The beach is okay, but it had a slippery rock in the sea in front of a big part of it, making it not easy (or: unpleasant) to get into the water. The bay of Lygeria is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen though, and the unobstructed view we had from our "Lygeria Beach apartments" was something I could not get enough from. It was a joy to sit outside on the balcony with a cup of Dutch coffee, or an ouzo and a bag of potato chips. The Lygeria Apartments complex was completed in 2003 and has 8 big and beautiful 2 rooms apartments of about 70 square meters each.

On the beach are just a few taverna's and one supermarket. That about describes the village. There a a few more houses, but that's it. Lately a lot of luxuery apartments have been build in the village though. For entertainment or a bigger variety in restaurants you have to go to Agia Pelagia. The roads leading towards this other village have some streetlamps on them so it's not a crime, and you can have a late dinner there if you like.
