Just 25 km east of the Iraklion is the most cosmopolitan place of Creta, Hersonissos. A city with many late 20th century buildings and hotels. It keeps the name of the ancient city that was located in the place that the harbour of Hersonisos is today. The village of Old Hersonisos, located within a small distance to the south was built due to the fear of the pirates, that forced the inhabitants of the village to move in the inland.
Near Old Hersonisos there are two picturesque small villages, Piskopiano and Koutouloufari, overlooking the busy resort of Limin Hersonissos.
The harbour of Hersonisos is famous for its night life as there are many bars, restaurants and tavernas next to the beach.
At the neighbouring villages a number of small hotels and apartments offer quiet and peaceful environment for family vacation.
The visitor to the area of Hersonisos will find a large number of shops with jewels, furs, clothing etc. and of course many places to rent cars or bikes.
Daily cruises are also organised by various travel agents, to the neighbouring island of DIA and many other small islets and beaches in the area.

I stayed in Stalis just up the road from Hersonissos we had a fantastic time.Plenty of good restaurants and bars all along the beachfront. Hersonissos is more lively most people seem to be in their early 20's with the teen's heading off to the dreaded Malia (furthest resort away from Hersonissos!) we had a good day in Hersonissos went to Star beach a waterpark on the beach which is free! but never went down at night as we prefer it a little more relaxing.
All in all crete is brilliant, great food, great weather,great people.

Crete, on the different hand, is spectacular! superb holiday of my life become spent over there. that is have been given so lots extra subculture, yet no longer interior the boring way. the place I went, it become a family participants motel, considering that my brother become in easy terms a baby, a 5 minute walk to the coastline which become thoroughly lush! The water become so suitable, that is unreal.in the process the day it become a severe high quality village with some surprising eating places, yet at night the whole village unfolded with nightclubs, kareoke bars, and a load of nigh in easy terms eating places and bars. It become so wonderful! Crete is definately a could! :) have exciting, anyplace you decide on for to bypass:)

herosnissos is the Cretan Sodoma. if u want to drink,drink,throw up,chase women (mostly brittish and holland),get la*d, and avoid any contact with the faboulous greek culture and language, this is the right place for you. tip- if u r into this, Malia is told to be Gomora. :)
