CRETE / HERSONISSOS

Holidays in Hersonissos are almost all things to all people. Beach-lovers have a choice of three – and a great variety of watersports. There's fun for families and the young & lively crowd at the Star Beach waterpark – where only the brave take on the bungee tower and Kamikaze run. The resort's long waterfront is lined with eateries – serving everything from late late breakfasts to romantic alfresco dinners. And there are still typical Greek tavernas for traditional fare – mainly tucked into the narrow old streets that twist inland from the sea. So whether you're pushing the boat out or you just want something fast and cheap, holidays in Hersonissos will match your mood and budget.

Finding the right place to stay is equally easy on Hersonissos holidays. Take a look at the Hotel Albatross – always popular with couples … And the Nana Beach offers all-inclusive holidays and good facilities for couples and families alike - right by the sea on the edge of the resort.

In mid-summer, holidays in Hersonissos are pretty lively affairs. The bars and discos turn the buzz of the centre into more of a throb. But you can escape the throng and head for the hills – for peace and panoramic views from a café in Piskopiano.
