AC-cruiser Posted May 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2008 It depends how long you are docked there, but Star Beach is great BUT it's on the other side of the island so it would mean a taxi. Loads of water sports and pools as well as a big stretch of beach. Theres also a couple of bars and restaurants there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this beach doable, or is it not worth the trip only to spend a couple hours there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberge Posted May 16, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2008 What is your port stop on Crete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted May 17, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2008 What is your port stop on Crete? Iraklion. This is another first for me. So if you have any suggestions for such a short stop, please chime in. Again, thank you in advance. You've been a great help today. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karle Posted May 17, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Our port is also Iraklion. we are also only there from 7;00am till 1;00p.m. So that does not leave much time to do a whole lot. any advice is greatly welcomed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been a great help today. :) Sorry I can't help you with your port(Karle either since they are the same) as l have not been there..only to Aghios Nikolaos which I loved..the little town was wonderful.I am sure you will find something you like and things to do re your port.I would make it a chill out day and just do some wandering...sometimes those days are the best IMHO.

AC-cruiser Posted May 18, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I think star beach would be a bit far, assuming it would take around 1-2 hours to get off the ship, then 40 - 50 mins to get there in a taxi, so to get back in plenty of time you would probably only get a couple of hours or so there.
