Location

The hotel for sale is just 20m from the beach, in close distance to all of the tourist attractions but still set in a relatively quiet quarter of the seaside resort.

Chersonissos is 26km east of Heraklion, between Anissaras and Stalis. Chersonissos has developed due to tourism and, in just a few decades, has grown into the largest tourist resort in Crete. Chersonissos has about 3.000 permanent inhabitants (2.981 in the 2001 census), but this number increases exponentially each summer, with the thousands of seasonal workers in tourism, and of course the hundreds of thousands of tourists who come to Chersonissos on holiday.

Chersonissos is officially named Limenas Hersonissou (“Port of Chersonissos”), because it was once the harbour of the village of Áno Chersonissos (“Upper Chersonissos”), now known as Old Chersonissos. Ano Chersonissos is 2km south of seaside Chersonissos, which essentially developed from the 1960s onwards due to tourism. Until then it had been just a small village with a rudimentary harbour, from which local agricultural goods were exported.

Chersonissos is ideal for…
If anyone tries to sell you a holiday in Chersonissos by telling you it's a small, picturesque Cretan town, don't believe them - they're lying.

Chersonissos means fun and mass tourism, lovely but busy beaches, a modern town with dozens of shops selling tourist goods, clothes and jewellery, restaurants offering all kinds of food, cafeterias, bars and nightclubs to suit every taste.

Chersonissos also means conference tourism in the large luxury hotels, the only golf course in Crete, and all-inclusive holidays for tourists of all ages who are mostly entertained in their hotel and rarely leave it to get to know the beautiful sights of Crete. This is a shame, because Chersonissos is ideally placed for easy travel across the whole island, either by rented car or by bus. People travelling with children will find many ways of keeping them happy in Chersonissos, with a day at the two Water Parks, a visit to the Chersonissos Aquarium or the giant CretAquarium in Gournes, a trip on the “happy train”, or letting them enjoy themselves in the play areas provided by many restaurants.

Also, 1-2km to the south are the traditional villages of Koutouloufari, Piskopiano and Ano Chersonissos, for those who would rather stay somewhere quieter without missing out on all seaside Chersonissos has to offer.
