Beach days, nights out

During the day, why not hit the beach and check out the water sports? Once the sun sets, the main strip and waterfront really come alive. Dinner’s easy to sort with a varied bunch of restaurants, and family-friendly bars stay open late. Live DJs even feature at beachfront clubs.

Traditional v new

Get up close to the sea life and reptiles that call the Aquaworld Aquarium home. Hersonissos is super modern, but while you’re here you can get a feel for traditional life on the island at the open-air museum. It’s an exciting underwater Mecca to get acquainted with.

Ancient drives

You know the Greek myth about the Minotaur and the Labyrinth? Well, it’s just a 40-minute drive to Knossos, the Minoan palace where the legendary tale is based – so you’ve got to go. An hour’s drive (plus a short boat ride) gets you to the fascinating island of Spinalonga.
