Ontdek Chersonissos

Lychnostatis is an open-air museum of traditional Cretan life on the coast at Hersonissos, opened in 1992. Paved paths under vine pergolas lead through a garden of local plants to stone houses, workshops and small displays of rural tools, weaving, pottery and household objects from the island's villages.

Watercity is a water park at Anopolis, near Gouves between Heraklion and Hersonissos on Crete. Its grounds of about 87,000 square metres hold pools, children's water games and 44 slides, the steepest of them reserved for visitors over 1.40 m. The park opens in summer only, from early May to October.
