Kalo Chorio (Greek: Καλό Χωρίο, "good village") is a village in the municipality of Agios Nikolaos, Lasithi, Crete, Greece. It is a small village and resort with three beaches, a dozen tavernas and half a dozen bars, snack bars and cafes (some with internet access), there is also a fairly new aqua pool with bar and restaurant opened a few years ago being popular attraction for all age groups, located near Golden Beach, owned and run by local Greek family. Kalo Chorio village has a population of around 900, nestles attractively in the midst of a verdant hilly landscape, where olive groves and abundant and colourful mediterranean shrubs and plants reach all the way down to the sea. Over the past years, naturally with tourism, part of the village has grown up nearer the beach, Istro is full of archaeological interest. The new village of Istro sits on the site of the ancient town of Istrona, remains of which are still being found today. Because of this, the land closest to the sea has a conservation order and no new building may take place, which leaves the beaches uncrowded and unspoilt. The delightful beaches of Istro Bay are regularly awarded a Blue flag for cleanliness. In Kalo Horio, there is a football complex too.It is named Kalo Horio communal sports complex. The complex consists of two grass fields.The bigger one is used by the football team of Pyrgos Kaloy Horiou Athletic Club for training and matches of 1st Division of Lasithi Football League, part of Greek Local Championships.
