The resort was especially developed for tourism with a long stretch of roadside hotels and apartments, gift shops, cafes, restaurants, of all price ranges.
The area bustles with life during summertime as hundreds of tourists choose to spend their vacation in Amoudara. The resort provides all the amenities of a modern city, due to its proximity to Heraklion and has something to offer for most age groups and holiday styles.
Thus visitors will find everything they need; there is a large selection of traditional taverns, serving delicious dishes, cafes, shops, jewellery stores, and a good choice of bars and nightclubs for a fabulous nightlife though discos are modest in comparison with places like Mallia.
