Restaurants: Many
restaurants and eateries of all kinds.
Shopping: Plenty
of shopping opportunities for when you are not lying on the beach
or by the pool
Nightlife: Many
bars and a few discotheques. Probably the liveliest nightlife in
West Crete (but nothing like Malia!)
Beach: A
long wide
sandy beach which is sometimes a little exposed to the wind and can,
on occasions, have treacherous currents.
