About
Hersonissos is one of the most popular tourist resorts in Crete, just 28km east of Heraklion. The main growth driver of the area is the beaches and the calm sea, which is rare on the northern coast of Crete due to regular north winds. The calmer beaches are located west of the port and are protected by Cape Sarandaris.
The first beach you come across the east of the port of Hersonissos is a long sandy narrow beach, which is flooded by thousands of people. It is very well organized and close to the amenities of the city. However, it is inappropriate for those who do not like crowds.
