Hersonissos

Hersonissos

Hersonissos is located just 26km east of Heraklion and, nowadays, is considered to be the most developed tourist resort in Crete, due to the high range of quality services and attractions available. The sandy beaches, warm clear waters and guaranteed sunshine combine to draw thousands of visitors to Hersonissos every year.. It keeps the name of the ancient city that was located in the place where the harbour of Hersonisos is today.

Erato Villa is located in the nearby village of Koutouloufari, which has barely been touched by tourism. The narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, window boxes overflowing with vibrant blossoms and the slow pace of life are a pleasant reminder of bygone days.

The natural routes in the municipality of Hersonissos also offer a journey through time, to the rich history of a blessed place. From its southern extremity until its northern border, the wider region of Hersonissos will reward visitors with beautiful images, forgotten flavours and traditional Cretan hospitality.
