Our Location

Diaskari Beach

Makrigialos’ highlights are its beaches and although most people head for the easy option – the sandy, Blue Flag Long Beach (Makrigialos main beach) that runs parallel to the town – there are better, less crowded options like the peaceful Diaskari beach, a five-minute drive away or 20 minutes walking to east. It is located 28 km east of Ierapetra and 33 km south of Sitia.

The rewards on reaching Diaskari are a crowd-free slice of seaside heaven. It hosts a small taverna and fantastic beach cabanas, complete with sun loungers and hammocks that tempt you to stay a while longer in their relaxing sway.

Right after Diaskari you’ll meet the long beach of Lagada, which is more secluded. Lastly, on a hill north of Diaskari archaeologists found in 1972 a late Minoan settlement with important buildings.
