Crete is one of the most picturesque places on Earth. Argophilia Travel News carries tons of news from Greece’s biggest island, but we’ve never explored in depth the wonderful Instagram accounts from the land of the ancient Minoans. Here’s a curative for having overlooked a wonderful resource, a preview of Hersonissos 2017.
Hersonissos (or Chersonissos) is one of the biggest coastal attractions on Crete. Noted for the massive parties held at this north coast beach paradise, the city attracts tens of thousands in tourist season. We scanned the Instagram accounts of the local party news purveyors like Hersonissos Life, and the various clubs, resorts and Crete partygoers in order to bring you a bit of the fun.
The original hookah bar in Hersonissos above is one of the most famous hangouts for partygoers, but there are many other notable ones like BioBio Club, New York Beach Club, Club Sensation, Havana Club, Palm Beach Club, and more.
Hersonissos is not all about crowds and wild parties, the crystal clear waters of the Cretan Sea are the biggest attraction.
Luxury! Crete is world famous for its hospitality, its food, but a lesser known treat awaits travelers too. The Instagram below from the fabulous Nana Beach Resort clues us to the classy treasures of Hersonissos. I want to be there at that table.
Oh yeah! Girls go to the north shore of Crete and stay at places like Hersonissos Palace.
Guys too! Star Beach is a favored destination.
And the only beer in the world for me, Mythos flows like water at Mc Delly’s.
Shop to your heart’s content at chic little boutiques like Think Summer Hersonissos.
For family fun, there’s Crete Aquarium, a new Dinosauria Park, the Open-air Museum LYCHNOSTATIS, the small offshore islet of Agia Varvara, horseback riding, SCUBA adventures, golf, all-terrain vehicle excursions and tons more stuff to do.
But when all is said and done Hersonissos is about the seaside, Crete’s natural beauty, fabulous repsorts like Aldemar (Instagram below) and cute girls. Okay, maybe cute boys too.
