Exo Lakkonia is a traditional village set in the hills just outside Agios Nikolaos, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by olive groves, mountain landscapes, and views across the Cretan countryside. Away from the busier coastal resorts, it provides an authentic glimpse of local life while remaining within easy reach of the area's beaches, restaurants, and attractions.
Just a short drive away, Agios Nikolaos is one of eastern Crete's most popular towns. Centred around the picturesque Lake Voulismeni and its lively waterfront, the town offers a wide selection of cafés, traditional tavernas, seafood restaurants, boutiques, and local shops. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the harbour, browse the weekly market, or relax at one of the nearby beaches.
The surrounding coastline is home to several beautiful beaches, including Almyros Beach, Ammoudi Beach, and the sandy shores of Ammos Beach, all ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and a variety of water sports. Boat trips also depart from Agios Nikolaos, offering opportunities to explore the coastline or visit the historic island of Spinalonga, one of Crete's best-known landmarks.
Nature lovers will find plenty to enjoy in the surrounding area, with scenic walking and hiking routes through olive groves, hills, and nearby mountain villages. Traditional villages such as Kritsa offer charming narrow streets, local artisan shops, and authentic Cretan tavernas, while the nearby Lassithi region provides opportunities to discover historic monasteries, archaeological sites, and spectacular mountain scenery.
