Holidays to Anissaras are perfect for a relaxing family getaway, away from the hustle bustle of packed-out tourist resorts, but close enough to lively Hersonissos if you do fancy a change of pace. An ideal location for those with children, Anissaras holidays offer a well-rounded break that will leave you wanting to return time and time again.
This picturesque resort stretches out over a large and often hilly terrain, ideal for peaceful family walks and getting out and about to explore the countryside. If you’re looking for a bit of extra “va-va-voom,” you can even take a stroll across to the lively nearby resort of Hersonissos. This popular beach is brimming with rocks and pebbles and lined with luxury hotels, plus there are plenty of family-friendly tavernas and shops for you to browse while you’re there, too.
While a lot of the stunning shoreline in Anissaras is rocky, the resort offers some excellent man-made sandy beaches, especially in front of the large, luxurious hotels. Remember that there is no such thing as a private beach in Crete – so why not spend a few hours on the sandy stretches in front of the five-star hotels and beach clubs? You won’t be disappointed! With so many man-made beaches carved out form among the rocks, Anissaras is the place to be if you’re a family who loves those long, lazy summer days. Besides the beach, there are plenty of excursions to be had in the surrounding resort, from the beautifully preserved village of Lassithi Plateau to history and culture in the capital of Heraklion.

If you’re visiting Anissaras with little ones, then a trip to the CretAquarium is a must-do! Your kids can explore the magical wonders of the sea floor in ways they’ve never imagined and see some of the most interested species in the world! From diving experiences to virtual tours, you and your family can enjoy a day filled with true awe and delight at this famous attraction in Crete.

If you’re looking to add that extra bit of fun to your family holiday to Anissaras, then why not venture across to the nearby town of Hersonissos? Popular with young tourists and offering the best sea on the island, Hersonissos gives you the opportunity to have a “holiday within a holiday”. Along the picturesque promenade (if you can drag yourself away from the turquoise waters for an hour or so), you can choose from a variety of warm and welcoming restaurants, all offering a delicious food. If you’re seeking a little quiet time, maybe as you watch the sunset - keep a look out for the Bench of Deep Thoughts!
