On the beach itself visitors can also enjoy all the facilities you would expect for swimming, sunbathing and water sports.

Hersonissos Beaches

There are many amazing beaches along the coast of Hersonisos. It’s one of the most famous, popular tourist resorts on the island of Crete, and is one of the most trendy beaches on the island. It is 27 kilometres east of Heraklion Town, on the northern coast. One of the most popular beaches with young people is Star Beach. It’s the beach in front of the Water Park, and it offers lots of fun activities including giant slides and bungee jumping.

As well as sunbathing on the beach, you can also do some paragliding, rent a water-jet or take a trip on a banana-boat.

Many of the beach bars in Hersonissos have resident DJs playing the very latest music. The beach itself has golden sand and crystalline azure waters.

The nearest village to Hersonissos Beaches is Hersonissos.

Aghios Nikolaos Beach

Slap bang in the centre of the cosmopolitan and chic shopping town of Aghios Nikolaos in the Lassithi region is the unromantic sounding Municipal Beach. Thankfully it is sooooooooo much better than it sounds!



It is very popular because of the great facilities offered. As it shares the space with a Mini Golf course, there is an admission fee, but it well worth it. It is pebbly but has clean and clear waters. There’s a lot of grass and trees for shade too with sunbeds, umbrellas and showers. There are also swimming pools, sport facilities and a bar, in case you need to have a cool drink or a light meal. This is definitely a place to chill before hitting the hot spots at night.

The nearest town is Aghios Nikolaos.
