Situated on the northern coast of Crete, just 25 km east of Heraklion, Hersonissos is the island’s most dynamic resort town. A place where ancient Minoan history, Blue Flag beaches, world-class dining, and the Mediterranean’s most vibrant nightlife all meet, within walking distance of each other.
For first-time visitors to Crete, Hersonissos offers everything the island has to offer in one place. For those who return every year, it’s because nothing else compares.
