IRAKLIA

HERACLEA

Set a fire on the beach...

This unbelievably beauteous island of the east Cyclades, though considered mountainous, offers nonetheless a verdant landscape and an abundance of spring water. It has two settlements; Agios Georgios, which is the port of the island, and Heraclea, or Chora. The elegant charm of the Cycladean architecture can be seen all around.

In Agios Georgios you will see the remains of the Venetian castle and the church of Agios Georgios. In the cave of Agios Ioannis, the rich dιcor of stalactites and stalagmites will truly leave you breathless. In Heraclea you will swim in the crystal clear waters and you will enjoy the sun on the sandy beaches, framed by the enchanting landscape. The golden sands of Agios Georgios, Vorini Spilia, Kolpos Livadiou, and the pebbled beaches of Tourkopigado, Karvounolakkos, Ormos Mericha, are all truly amazing.

This small island is an ideal destination for those who seek calmness, tranquility and silence.
