Amoudara holidays give you a top-calibre sandy beach to base yourself around, just a short cab ride from Heraklion and its historic highlights.
Beach babe
If ‘close to the beach’ and ‘sightseeing’ are your holiday must-haves, you can kill two birds with one stone in Amoudara. This beach resort brings a fat dose of sun, sea and sand, with a close-to-the-city postcode to boot. It’s practically a suburb of Heraklion, it’s that close – we’re talking 15 minutes’ drive to the Cretan capital.
Strapping sands
Elbow room’s not a problem on Amoudara’s beach. In fact, there’s three miles of the sandy stuff to play with. It keeps going all the way to Heraklion’s borders. Not only does it have the golden sands swag, but it’s got the watersports, too. And loads of the sunbeds are free, when you grab a drink from the nearby bars.
