Hersonissos

Hersonissos, one of the most popular Cretan seaside resorts, is one of the top choices in the region of Heraklion when it comes to package holidays, nightlife, good tavernas, and a wonderful, pristine sea. Hersonissos was originally a settlement during Minoan Crete (2600-1600 BC). Small artifacts have been found in the area, especially on the little peninsula itself, on Kastri Hill.
After the Minoans were wiped out by the explosion of the volcanic island Santorini 125 km to the north, Hersonissos was quickly resettled, its harbor making it a desirable place for a port. Hersonissos was an important port during Roman times, and continued to be so during the Byzantine era, developing an outside water resource with the construction of an aqueduct, which emptied into a reservoir holding 7,000 cubic meters of water. The Lychnostatis Open Air Museum gives you the chance to explore the trades and lifestyles of early islanders.
