What to do
There are a decent number of bars in Amoudara, but for a bigger choice, head into Heraklion. There are loads of late-night places, playing everything from Greek pop music to more mainstream stuff Or continue a bit further along the coast to Hersonissos and Malia – both are favourites with the party-hard set.
If you seek cool and quiet places, the west part of the Amoudara Beach is ideal. It starts from the Pancretan Stadium front and ends at east near the dunes and wetland of Xeropotamos. The industrial area of Ellinoperamata as well as the mouths of river Gazanos and river Almiros represent other quiet areas where you can have fun.
The surrounding area of Amoudara Beach is also fun to visit, and you can also visit the spring of Almyros River. It forms the largest habitat that offers the greatest amount of water in Crete. Just nearby, there’s also the gorge of Almiros. This is quite easy to walk on, and you could walk to the top of Stroumboulas Mountain, which is a volcano-like mount at Heraklion.
Right on the Amoudara Beach within Heraklion City, there is the family owned Tropical Hotel that features a beach bar and traditional restaurant. While here, you can view the mountains and the Cretan Sea. You’ll also be served with Greek specialties. Free Wi-Fi is also available throughout.
