The area around the villa

The villa is located  in front of one of Hersonissos beaches and just a breath away from Hersonissos city center, where you will find many daily amenities such as a pharmacy, butcher, fishmonger, bakery, as well as restaurants and cafes. Right next to Hersonissos Beach Villas you will  find Lychnostatis, one of the largest folk tradition and ethnology museums in Crete, if not the biggest. It has numerous artifacts that will teach you plenty about the culture, nature and environment of Crete.

Hersonissos is a resort area located 25 km east from Heraklion and 11 km east from CretAquarium, a modern aquarium featuring more than 200 species of marine animals from all over the Mediterranean. The coastal area of Hersonissos is a short drive from the Old Hersonissos Village and it is contrasting the vibrancy of the coastal Hersonissos as it is rather peaceful and traditional. Beautiful narrow streets make for a lovely wander around after a nice meal in one of the plenty restaurants of the village.

One of the biggest waterparks in Crete, Watercity is located 16 km from Hersonissos and will surely entertain young and old alike with its Ancient Greece-themed slides and activities.
