About Hero

Heraklion

Hersonisos-Malia etc

Heraklion consists of two districts - the Old City and the New. Almost all attractions are concentrated in the Old Town. Most of the colorful cafes, restaurants and the main trade artery of the city, Dedalou Street, are also located here. In the New Town you can find inexpensive hotels and many supermarkets. But this part of Heraklion is located farther from the sea. Population of Heraklion 140 730. The best resorts in the Heraklion region are Malia and Hersonissos.

Malia is a very popular resort among young people. The village is located about 35 km east of Heraklion in the coastal zone. There are hundreds of nightclubs and discos here, and the atmosphere of the holiday does not stop day or night. The best sandy beaches of the region are also located here, where you can find any water activities. In short, we can say that Malia is a resort that has everything: the sea, beaches, hotels of any star rating, all kinds of entertainment, taverns, cafes, pubs, souvenir shops, and even huge supermarkets.

Hersonissos is the unofficial capital of island tourism, one of the most fun and noisy resort places in Crete. There are expensive restaurants and traditional taverns, boutiques and souvenir shops, discos, and clubs. In the port area, a long "strip of bars" runs along the coast, mostly Irish and Dutch. The region's main driver of growth is its beaches and calm seas, a rarity on the north coast of Crete. The calmest beaches are in Limanakia, and to the east of the port are the most popular beaches.
