greek hotels - Heraklion County Beaches The beaches on the northern coast are the busiest, as this is the heart of the whole island's tourist industry. You will find everything you could possibly expect from an organised beach: deckchairs, umbrellas, changing rooms and showers. There are several parking lots where you can leave your car, and of course numerous beach bars that will serve you coffee or drinks. The most famous beaches are Amnissos, Gouves, Analipsi Chersonissou, Chersonissos, Malia, Linoperamata, which is the beach closest to Heraklion city, Agia Pelagia, and neighbouring Lygaria. The southern coast is not as organised, but there are fewer people and the beaches have a special charm. The most famous beaches are Kommos, Matala and Lentas, while the beaches at Kali Limenes and Agia Galini are also excellent. The greatest advantage of Heraklion County, and the other counties in Crete, is that if the weather is bad on one coast, you can easily go swimming on the other, thus avoiding the north winds or "meltemia" blowing from the Aegean in the summer.
