Part of the Bay View resort, our accommodation was newly constructed in 2009. The resort, with it's own swimming pool, nestles in a rising amphitheater on the south east coast of Crete, some 300 yards from Lagada beach.
Makry-Gialos is a small, unspoiled beach resort on the south-east coast of Crete. It has a permanent population of around 1000 inhabitants who originate mostly from the surrounding villages, and the local economy is based as much, if not more, on agriculture as it is on tourism. The village is one of the quieter, less developed destinations in Crete, with some of the best beaches in this part of the island. There is a good choice of bars, restaurants, tavernas, with many establishments fronting onto the beach. There is also a small fishing harbour - a pleasant place to stroll around, with its own patch of sandy beach and collection of waterfront bars, tavernas and restaurants standing side by side.
A land of mountains, plateaux, gorges, and coast, south east Crete enjoys better than average weather, thanks to its North African influenced climate and mountainous hinterland that often takes the edge off the sometimes fierce northerly 'meltemi' winds. The resort is ideally positioned, close to the best beaches in south east Crete, and a central location from which to explore the natural, historical, and cultural treasures of east Crete.
