Listed 2 sub titles with search on: Information about the place for destination: "KRITSA Small town AGIOS NIKOLAOS".
The village of Kritsa is 8km southwest of Agios Nikolaos. The area
near the village of Kritsa has many attractions to offer. It combines a traditional
village setting with several Byzantine churches which rank among the best in the
island.
Kritsa is one of the most frequently visited villages in Crete due to its fame
as a movie set for several films and the availability of fine quality weavings,
but is still pleasant to visit. Behind Kritsa is a road that leads to the Dikte
Mountains and offers very interesting views of the landscape. The road reaches
the Katharo Plain at 1,100 metres height, and there is a path reaching the Lassithi
Plateau. In the spring there are many rare flowers here.
