Hersonissos —
Welcome to Herssonissos, the "Cretan Saint-Tropez"! A popular and enchanting seaside resort, this vibrant town offers a lively nightlife, a magnificent view of the bay and an exceptional heritage. Its many remains bear witness to the many civilisations that have passed through the area, such as the Venetian houses of Panos Hersonissos, a picturesque village on the upper bay. If you want to get a glimpse of its authentic atmosphere, take a walk around the old port and don't miss the Lychnostatis museum.
The largest of the Greek islands, Crete is an enchanting hub of dreamy villages, ancient treasures, sun-drenched beaches and divinely silky sea waters - all wrapped up in the embrace of the local’s warm hospitality. Crete is the birthplace of the Minoan people, said to be the first advanced society on European soil, who ruled over 4000 years ago. Here you can find remains of this remarkable civilisation in various archaeological sites dotted over the island, including the famous Palace of Knossos.
A land where age-old cultural traditions are still honoured, the spirit of Crete is tangible, and you only need to drop into a local kafeneio (coffee house) or a quaint taverna serving vibrant, fresh cuisine, to be enchanted by it.
