Heraklion beaches
The coastline of Heraklion offers great variety, from the secluded beaches of the Asterousia Mountains to the more easily accessible shores in the north. Along the southern coast, notable beaches include Agiofarago, Vathy, Trafoulas near Lendas, Aspes and Agios Nikitas. Farther east lies Listis near Keratokambos, while the dunes of Komos extend along the western coast. Popular northern choices include the Sarandaris coves, Potamos beach near Malia and the small beaches of Dia island.
