Why go to Amoudara?

Sat prettily on Crete, the southernmost island in Europe, the beachside resort of Amoudara offers breathtaking natural beauty.

Amoudara holidays invite you to slow down a little. Breathe in the fresh sea air, marvel at the Dikti mountains as they contrast the sparkling Aegean Sea and bask in the warm glow of Greek hospitality.

Amoudara holidays are a great option for those wanting a laidback vibe while being close enough to the action of bigger resorts further along the coast. With Heraklion, Hersonissos and Malia within driving distance the party is just a stone’s throw away.

Alongside the excellent beach and beautiful views, Amoudara holidays are great for water sports. Windsurfing is popular here and boat cruises are also a great way to spend a day on your Amoudara holiday. Set off along the coast of Crete for a half-day of heaven or spend a day sailing on the Aegean Sea.

The island’s capital of Heraklion is just over 6km away. Expect festivals, art, culture, a smorgasbord of restaurants and beautiful architecture. Not only this, its proximity to the airport makes Amoudara holidays ideal for those looking to reduce airport-transfer times.

In the evening, stroll the beach front bars, stopping off for a cocktail or a bite to eat while overlooking the water as it laps the shoreline.
