Along the coast line from Elounda to Agios Nikolaos and further to Siteia there are numerous islets that pop out of the sea. The scenery within the gulf of Mirabello is unique and a visit to the islets opposite the shore of Crete is challenging. Small boats can take the travellers to any of these islets. Similarly, at the south there are two larger islands which attract many visitors.
