Archaeological Museum of Agios Nikolaos
Founded in 1970, this museum boasts quite interesting archaeological finds from all over Eastern Crete, exhibited in chronological order — starting from the Neolithic, through the Minoan period and ending with Greco-Roman artifacts.
The Sunken city of Olus
This city, despite the fact that it is, in fact, invisible, is one of the most important places in Crete. Olus especially flourished, according to various sources, in the Minoan period (3000-900 BC). The ruins of the ancient city can still be seen at the bottom of the Poros canal.
Lake Vulismeni
This lake is located in the heart of Agios Nikolaos, and it definitely “makes” the appearance of the city. A small narrow channel connects Lake Vulizmeni with the bay, and the photo of this bridge with a bridge is the most recognizable view of the city.
Milatos Cave
This cave with a dramatic history is located about 25 km from Agios Nikolaos, near the town of Milatos of the same name. This place is interesting for several reasons, including its general picturesqueness, but it is known mainly from the tragic story that happened here in February 1823.
Priniatikos Pyrgos
The most interesting archaeological site can be found if you drive a little east from Agios Nikolaos along the seashore. Presumably, these places were inhabited during the late Neolithic period, that is, about 3000 BC. Over the centuries, their population only increased.
