| Hersonissos City | |||||
Just 25 km east of the Iraklion is the most cosmopolitan location of Creta, Hersonissos. A city bursting with many late 20th century buildings and hotels. It retains the name of the ancient city that was located in the area that the harbour of Hersonisos is today. The village of Old Hersonisos, located within a small distance to the south was built in response to a local fear of pirates that forced the inhabitants of the village to move inland.
Near Old Hersonisos there are two picturesque small villages, Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, both overlooking the busy resort of Limin Hersonissos.
The harbour of Hersonisos is famous for its night life as there are many bars, restaurants and tavernas next to the beach.
In the neighbouring villages there are a number of small hotels and apartments that offer a quiet and peaceful environment for a perfect family vacation.
Visitors to the area of Hersonisos will find a large number of shops with jewels, furs, clothing etc. and of course many places to rent cars or bikes.
Daily cruises are also organised by various travel agents, to the neighbouring island of DIA and many other small islets and beaches in the area.
