Hersonissos, Oost
Kreta
Just 25 km east of the
Iraklion is one of the most cosmopolitan towns in Crete,
Hersonissos. A town with many late 20th century buildings
and hotels. It has the name of the ancient city that was
located in the same place that the harbour of
Hersonissos
is today. The village of Old Hersonissos is located a
couple of kilometres inland and was built here because
of fear for attacks from pirates, that forced the
inhabitants of the village to move further inland.
Near Old Hersonissos there are two picturesque small
villages, Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, overlooking the
busy resort of Hersonissos.
Kreta Golf

number of shops with jewels, furs, clothing etc. and of
