LOCATION

 

Makrigialos is still a small village on the South East Coast of Crete but it has all the infrastructure to make tourists life easier.

There are banks (and a cash dispenser), car rental offices ,several good restaurants, bars, mini markets, tourist shops, a doctor, a pharmacy and internet cafes. Everything is within walking distance.)

The sandy beach with warm shallow water is perfectly suited for small children and for non swimmers alike. It's definitely a pleasant family location as well.  

The typically Greek beachside studios and apartments are located in the centre of the village adjacent to the uncrowded beach. Hiring a car is not necessary to enjoy the Greek way of life as everything (supermarkets, restaurants, shops, banks etc.) is nearby.
