The hotel offers excellent value for money, especially for families with kids. The waterpark has a lot of slides, and there is a new aquapark project for 2025. Food is tasty and various, drinks are also OK. It is important to say that the hotel is not fancy, but it provides all that you need - and that is very good. You can also walk by the seaside road to the neighboring village, which gives you nice views. Special thanks to the manager that welcomed us at the check-in on 29 October 2024.

We didn't stay in Hersonissos, we stayed in Koutouloufari (a small village 20 minutes walk from the centre of Hersonissos), and I am so glad we did, as Hersonissos is much more of a party base where there are plenty of bars and clubs, and is aimed more at the twenty somethings rather than the family friendly, quieter and much more civilised traditional Greek village of Koutouloufari, if you want parties and late night drinking, then Hersonissos might just be for you, however if you are looking for a quieter, easy going, traditional Greek village with lots of traditional family run restaurants / tavernas, then look further afield to the small villages on the outskirts like Koutouloufari and Piskopiano.

It’s a very vibrant place. If you enjoy looking around shops you will love it. Had lovely restaurants some way more expensive than others but your definitely find something you like at a reasonable price. The beach was lovey very sandy a lot of sun beds the only thing I thought there were a little expensive. Lots of excursions if you want. Basically there is something for everyone. I will definitely return for another visit.

There are plenty of shops along the main road, (the usual you expect to see on holiday), but it's not what you would call a 'resort town'. It is more a suburb of Heraklion which is mostly residential.

The town is just the right size — not too big.

The town is just the right size — not too big. Its rural and local character really comes through; we even watched goat herders at work just nearby. There’s a good variety of restaurants and several shops. For those with limited mobility, there’s a convenient flat sidewalk running along the beach. If you’re willing to drive a short distance, there are plenty of stunning beaches to choose from depending on the wind direction. It’s an excellent location for beach life and all kinds of water activities. At Paralia Souda, there was also an aid for wheelchair users to get into the water — provided they’re able to transfer into the seat. There’s also lots to do nearby — one tip is to hike up to Saint Paisios Church or visit the nearby mountain villages with their amazing views towards Plakias (see the photo).

A quiet area, but the beach close by is not the best (still ok if you wanna just refresh a bit) and you need the car if you want to see and explore more (even in the surroundings). There are buses, though, to move to/from major points of interest. The location I chose (Kri-Kri Village) was perfect and I had the best time! Extremely relaxing, chill vibe and you can reach great beaches not far. Suggested!
