It’s the home of more legends and myths than you’ll find anywhere. Daedalus and Ikarus flew over the island. The Minotaur was slain by Theseus.

New York Beach Club
Founded some 30 years ago, the New York Beach Club in rocking Hersonissos has been one of the top party vibe spots on Crete every season since. Locals and tourists congregate here at a perennial TripAdvisor excellence winner. The place offers a stylish kind of chic you’d expect in Miami or the Bahamas, only infused with Cretan friendliness and an Ibiza craziness. The club sits right on the beach road overlooking the incredible Cretan Sea and Malia Bay. We were at the club in the off season and loved the welcome we got. Check this place if you’re anywhere near Heraklion, Malia, or in Hersonissos this summer.
