Mochlos

Hotels and apartments

Mochlos is a small island in the Bay of Mirabello, some 40 km East of Agios Nikolaos. The little fishing village opposite the island has the same name and

is famous among Cretans for its specialities served in the local harbour tavernas.

In Minoan times Mochlos was an important port in Eastern Crete and still now one can take a small boat to the island, which lies only 150 metres off the bay, to visit the excavations of that time.

Today Mochlos is a peaceful little village with a picturesque harbour and crystal clear waters and it is therefore an ideal spot for those travellers who are looking for a quieter holiday.

The bays around Mochlos are mainly rocky and great for snorkelling and one can find a small shingle and a sandy beach in the area .
