The bay of Lygaria can be reached from Heraklion Airport in about 25 to 30 minutes (23km). Located at the east end of the region, this long coarse sandy beach is often quieter than its neighboring bays, particularly during the week. Even at the weekend, when the locals arrive from nearby Heraklion, it is still remains very enjoyable. The beach offers generous spacing between sunbeds and good swimming. There is also public changing and washroom facilities and a lifeguard present at busy times. Tip: At some places on the beach, there is rock Shelving as you enter the water, so some care is needed, and it could be worth investing a pair of swimming shoes. Lygaria as well as the beaches to its west are safe from the Meltemia (summer winds which can sometimes hit the northern coast of Crete). It is popular as a perfect place to relax in a quaint setting after some partying at the well-developed Agia Pelagia that lies close to Lygaria.
