Located on the sun-kissed northern shore of Crete, 25 kilometers east of the Cretan capital of Heraklion, the Hersonissos Hotel is just 60 meters away from sandy beaches. Simply decorated guestrooms have crisp white walls and light wooden furnishings; all include balconies or terraces, refrigerators and TVs.
Guests can soak up the sun whist relaxing with a drink at the hotel pool, complete with poolside bar. The hotel also offers a range of Greek and international cuisine in the informal surrounding of the onsite restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The nearby beach offers parasailing water-skiing, scuba diving and windsurfing. For outdoor types, the inland mountains are ideal for a jeep safari. Alternatively, ancient history buffs can find the Minoan Palace of Malia, 7 kilometers away, and the Homo Sapiens Museum, 24 kilometers from the hotel. Heraklion Airport is 25 kilometers away and taxis cost around 25 euro.
