A multi-faceted Cretan hotspot
If you’re looking for the pulse of modern-day Crete, you’ll find it in Hersonissos, which moves to its own rhythm on any given night. While the town’s lively waterfront is the place to party, as anyone on Crete will tell you, Hersonissos holidays offer far more than just nightlife. Away from the vibe of the bars and restaurants, the town is full of history and culture, and it’s not difficult to submerge yourself in both.
The resort’s well-developed facilities and infrastructure also mean it’s an ideal base for trips and excursions, giving you the chance to sightsee and experience a different side of Cretan life. Needless to say, holidays to Hersonissos certainly aren’t just for the party crowd. Visitors of all types – whether couples, families or solo travellers – will find much to enjoy here. It’s truly a town that welcomes everyone, which is perhaps the real reason why it’s the heart of contemporary Crete.
