Ligaria
The Ligaria beach lies to the east of the main Agia Pelagia beach. It is a lot smaller than the main beach and it is quite far from the centre of the town. However, it is just as lovely as the main one and it also enjoys the same protection from the winds. Nestled in the curve of a wide bay at the foot of a hill, its picturesque setting was noticed by a few intrepid businessmen who understood the area's potential in the burgeoning tourism industry of Crete. Slowly but surely, hotels and restaurants were built but never too many and so the area has kept its charm. Today, it is a popular destination for families and couples who prefer a quieter getaway.
This beach is also known as Lygaria.
