My sister and I came to Crete before traveling all over Greece. Hersonissos was our first stop and George is such a wonderful host! We originally wanted 2 night, but our ferry company cancelled our trip to depart from another port 1.5 hours away. George was so nice and helpful to let us stay the one night and help us figure out how to get to new port in Rethymnon.
Our room was very clean and well taken care of! The pool was sparkling, wish we had more time to spend there!
Very close to town and beach, within walking distance to both! George and his family are very sweet and willing to help with anything. Hersonissos is a touristy place, but you can find some great food and wine up in the mountain town, Koutouloufari. A short 10€ cab ride.
Definitely suggest for any trip!!!
