Hersonissos, Crete

Hersonissos

Families, couples and friends wanting an active resort with beaches, restaurants and entertainment.

Hersonissos offers a developed resort setting east of Heraklion, with restaurants, cafés, shops and bars around its coastal streets. Nearby family activities and summer entertainment can shape an active holiday.

The waterfront is only one choice. Koutouloufari, Piskopiano and old Hersonissos above the coast offer lanes and tavernas in different surroundings. Compare them when privacy or a villa setting matters, and check the actual journey between village, beach and dinner.

Our tip

For a quieter setting above the waterfront, compare Koutouloufari and Piskopiano, checking the route back to the coast.
