Hersonissos Port

Hersonissos Port (Greek: Λιμένας Χερσονήσου) is a lively coastal harbor located on the northern coast of Crete, approximately 25 km east of Heraklion. Historically a Roman harbor serving ancient Lyttos, it has evolved into a vibrant tourist destination.

Today, the port is surrounded by beachfront restaurants, cafes, bars, and small marinas where boats depart for local cruises and diving trips. It's a favorite spot for both daytime relaxation and nightlife, with a mix of scenic beauty and cultural history, including ancient mosaics and chapels. The promenade becomes a hotspot in the evenings, popular among tourists and locals alike.
