Luxury Villas In Heraklion

Situated near the two major archeological sites of Crete, Knossos Palace and Phaistos Palace, Heraklion is the perfect base for your exploration. The region itself is lovely, with stunning beaches to discover and a lively town, full of hidden gems from the Venetian period.

Diving is a popular activity in Heraklion, particularly in resorts on the northern side of the island, like Hersonissos, Malia, Agia Pelagia, and Gouves. The seabed of Heraklion has interesting flora and fauna and many ancient wrecks.

Along the Northern and the Southern coasts of the region, visitors will discover amazing beaches to relax. Around the tourist resorts, beaches are organised with plenty of hotels, traditional tavernas, and watersports centres. However there are many secluded bays for total privacy and isolation, mostly on the southern coasts of Crete, which is less touristy.

Strong winds that blow frequently in summer provide great chances for windsurfing. There are some windsurfing centers in Heraklion that rent equipment and offer courses for all levels. Another popular activity is hiking, particularly in spring and autumn when the weather is not so hot. Hiking trails in Heraklion cross impressive gorges, villages, ancient sites and end in secluded beaches.
