HERAKLION HOLIDAYS
Heraklion is still the gateway to Crete, and this ancient fortress city contains so much of the islands history from the Minoan Palace at Knossos to todays Shopping Centres, it cannot be ignored. The City is the islands major hub, home to the sea port and airport and as such all roads lead to or from Heraklion, the road East is a well travelled one leading past some now long established holiday areas, and on to the eastern province of Lassithi. This area has a wide range of holiday resorts and every thing for today's holidaymaker, including a water park and a golf course, for the more traditional there are a wide range of beaches, and with the islands seven month summer they make a very pleasant place to be. All along the coast there are a wide range of beachside options from Kokkini Hani, past Gouves, Chersonissos, Koutouloufari, Stalida, and into Malia, these provide a wide range of holiday options. There is accommodation of almost every sort from cheap and cheerful rooms to rent, to pleasant hotels providing either family environments or discreet luxury. The area is also home to a vast array of Cafes, Bars, and Restaurants, to meet almost every taste from a fast food burger or souvlaki to first class restaurants providing popular menus from around the world. For those who want more than just sun sea and sand, there are a wide range of opportunities to visit some of the islands past glories, a hire car rented for just a few days will give access to the wide variety of archeological sites, and places of interest, one of the closest being the Minoan Palace at Malia. If a quieter pace beckons along the coast to Sissi, with it’s pleasant little harbour and you will be well rewarded, it’s neighbour Milatos has an even gentler pace. All just a short journey into Lasithi.
