Overview

The beach of Agios Nikolaos is located in a rugged area just west of Bali in Rethymnon. The name comes from the Byzantine double-aisled church of St. Nicholas, which is located in the green ravine that leads to a beautiful little harbour. The beach is surrounded by impressive rocks made of squamous limestone that form small caves and inside the sea has rocks.
