Hersonissos is a lively and well known party holiday resort on the north coast of Crete, 17 miles east of the capital of Heraklion.

Situated on a broad bay, Hersonissos is popular among tourists looking to soak up some Greek culture in a lively and energetic resort. The hub of the town lies at the harbour area, which is heaving with tavernas, bars and clubs.

The resort offers three spectacular beaches, which boast some of the best watersports’ facilities on the coast. The golden sand at Chersonissos beach is perfect for sunbathing, while the scenic coves at Anissaras can be explored. The nearby waterpark is also a brilliant way to spend days in the sun.

Hersonissos is renowned for its hectic nightlife, with the bars and clubs along the promenade carrying on until dawn. More fun can be found at the nearby legendary party spot of Malia, a haven for young people. If visitors tire of partying and relaxing on the beach, there are many archaeological and historical sights, including the original old part of the town.

Hersonissos holidays have something to offer everyone, from party animals to beach lovers, to history buffs.
