Crete can pride itself in having a vacation destination, which the whole Europe will soon know, if it doesn’t already. That is Hersonissos, a small community with a big soul. It is located close to Heraklion, so you can have easy access to it either by boat or a plane. And once you get there, you’ll realize that you’ll never want to leave!
Whatever is connected in the human mind with holidays on Greek islands exists in Hersonissos and rest assured that you won’t miss a thing while there. For the younger folk, there are organized beaches full of vibrant crowds. Some have beach bars and coffee places, so you can warm up before the real party at night, in the various clubs of the region. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some slightly quieter beaches, if you wish to relax, as long as you feel like discovering them.
If you find yourselves at Hersonissos along with your family, then you still have many activities to choose from. From the water parks where your children can play all day to the sights, like Knossos, that can be found quite close to Hersonissos, your options are so many that your only problem might be that you won’t have the time to do everything.
