Wir waren mit diesem Hotel in Hersonissos sehr zufrieden. Wir fahren zwei mal im Jahr für ein paar Tage nach Kreta und haben noch nie so gut gewohnt.
Da kann auch ein berühmtes 4 Sterne...

BUSY AND TOURISTIC AREA
We booked for a week. After 2 days we had enough because Hersonnissos is so touristic, noisy, crowded and commercial. This is a place for tourists who do not want to...

In my opinion it is best to visit the ancient temple complex of Knosses with a tour guide. Because the temples are very old, at many places you can only guess what the buildings must have looked...

While in Heraklion, you must visit the Museum of Archaeology. It is rather small, but contains a lot of information about the Minoan period. So if you’re interested in visiting the impressive...

To get to the Saint Minas Cathedral is pretty easy. It is not far at all from the Lion’s plaza. I’d say the visit is worth the time. The cathedral is very old, but impressively big. It is...

We really wanted to visit the Aquarium in Heraklion, because we thought that it has a wide variety of species on display and maybe even some rare species that we don’t get to see in the German...

The church of Saint Catherine is a beautiful little church in Heraklion. It was built during the Byzantine period and I think it is a great example of Byzantine architecture. Unfortunately they are...

The square where the town hall and the Morosini fountain stand is the most popular place in Heraklion. My friends and I were accidentally walking in the area around 10pm and we were amazed by the...

After visiting Crete I arrived to the conclusion that it’s a pity to go to Greece and not visit this lovely island. I really loved it because it has so many things to offer. I love the beach and the sea, and Crete has plenty of that, but I also like history and ancient monuments and you can...

First of all, choosing the means if transport to get to Crete from Greece was a problem for my friend and I. My boyfriend and I really wanted to take the ferryboat, but other friends preferred the plane. It is true that we had no time to waste, but we split up and my boyfriend and I had the most...

For the ones who like religious buildings, the Moni Toplou monastery is a must. I don’t specifically live religious building, but any weird and very old building would raise my interest. The Moni Toplou monastery, that lies close to Sitia is a very strangely built monastery. I was told that...

The castle of palace of Knossos is also one of my favorite things in Greece along with the Acropolis and the Petralona cave. The thing that most amazes me about this place is that people used to live here in the Neolithic era, which was about 8000 years ago. Again, it is incredible to be in such...

A trip to Spinalonga island is a great pastime while in Crete. This island had great historical importance, as it is one of the few parts that has never been conquered during a war. The island is very small and it has very high walls that are extremely well preserved. It has passed from the...

I must say that after visiting so many ancient ruins I was very happy to finally visit something different. We were told that on the Crete Island lies one of the most beautiful and most important national parks in the country. So we decided to visit Samaria Gorge. I really don’t like walking...

Phaistos is an ancient city now mostly in ruins. It was one of the biggest cities on the island of Crete and held a great importance during ancient times. It is still unknown when the city started to exist, but the oldest ruins found here date from 3000 BC. So it may have been even older. It was...

The cave of Zeus is a must while visiting Crete. The mythological significance of this cave comes from the beginning of Zeus’s life. It is said that his mother Rhea was hiding Zeus here because his father Chronos wanted to kill him. So it is said that this cave is where Zeus grew up.
