Limanakia Hersonissos

In Hersonissos you can find quiet beaches to enjoy a tranquil day by the sea but you can also find crowded beaches with lots of people, music and water sports. Limanakia consist of beautiful small beaches which are located west of Hersonissos. They are approximately 28 kilometers east from Heraklion and you can access them easily. Due to their geographical position, they are exposed to strong northern winds but they are still popular with the bathers. The beach west of the port is pebbly and with a rocky seabed, which makes it ideal for snorkeling. It is located 28 kilometers outside Heraklion, it is not organized but it is, however, easily accessible. Near this beach there is also a nudist beach, very similar to the one west of Hersonissos. It is ideal for snorkeling but it is also not organized and remains exposed to northern winds. However, it is the only beach in the area that will allow nudity.
