Agios Nikolaos Marina

The Marina of Agios Nikolaos is a modern, well-equipped harbor located in one of Crete’s most picturesque coastal towns. Just a short walk from the town center, this marina offers more than just a mooring spot — it’s a relaxing hub for sailors, travelers, and locals alike, combining convenience with the charm of the Mediterranean.

Modern Facilities in a Traditional Setting

Operated since the early 1990s, Agios Nikolaos Marina can accommodate up to 255 vessels, including yachts up to 60 meters in length. It provides a full range of services such as water and electricity hook-ups, fuel station, 24/7 security, Wi-Fi, and technical support. The layout is spacious and organized, with clean sanitary facilities and laundry services available on site.

The marina is sheltered from the open sea, offering a safe haven year-round. Its location on the northeastern coast of Crete makes it a popular stop for boats sailing the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean.

Ideal Base for Exploration

What sets Agios Nikolaos Marina apart is its close connection to the town itself. Within minutes, visitors can reach the vibrant harbor promenade, boutique shops, traditional tavernas, and cultural sites like the Archaeological Museum or the iconic Voulismeni Lake, right at the town’s heart.

From here, travelers can also arrange day trips to nearby attractions such as Spinalonga Island, Elounda, or the southern beaches of Ierapetra. For those staying longer, the marina acts as a convenient and scenic home base to discover central and eastern Crete.

Sustainable and Friendly Atmosphere

Agios Nikolaos Marina is known for its eco-conscious policies and commitment to sustainability. Recycling, clean energy use, and regular environmental events contribute to its reputation as one of Greece’s more environmentally responsible marinas. The staff are friendly, English-speaking, and helpful, making it especially popular with international visitors.
