    Heraklion, (pronounced hi-rak-lee-on) sits on Crete's beautiful north coast and boasts two of the Greek Islands' main resorts, among rugged bays and quaint deserted islands. Holidays in Heraklion have plenty to offer in terms of golden beaches, rich history, restaurants and entertainment, too.

     

    Head into lively Hersonissos and party central Malia where music plays well into the next morning, while those who prefer peace and quiet can escape to nearby Gouves and Dia. If you wish to explore the history of the region a little further, head 145 km west to Chania, a town built on Minoan ruins which has a nice harbour and a charming old town to discover on foot. Head to Aquapark with the family where you can splash about in the water or explore Amazonas Park in nearby Aghios Nikolaos, there's something for everyone in Heraklion.

     

    You'll find nice tavernas around the main Eleftherias Square, where you can sample a delicious meze platter coupled with some raki and tsikoudia. Adventure lovers can participate in watersports and hiking and cycling tours while those who want to explore the resort's culture can head to Heraklion old town or potter around The Palace of Knossos. If you still have time, explore pretty resorts like Stalis or Koutouloufari filled with little cottages and lush olive groves and step off the tourist trail. Whether you're interested in the ancient ruins or bustling beaches, Heraklion holidays have it all.

    Heraklion's Beaches

     

     

    Heraklion's Beaches

    Crete is home to a plethora of quaint bays, pretty seaside villages and great beaches. You can pose in the bars or on the sands of action-packed Malia Central beach or hang out on bustling Hersonissos beach. Alternatively, escape to the tiny island of Dia in the Heraklion Gulf to luxuriate in the peace and quiet and take a swim in the bay. Or try the sandy beach in the charming resort of Gouvas.

    Hit The Strip In Malia

     

    Hit The Strip In Malia

    Malia is a well-known 18-30 destination, so if shots, foam parties and dancing till dawn are your cup of tea, you’ll love it. Hersonissos isn’t quite as party mad but there’s still a huge choice of nightspots where you can dance till the sun comes up. In Heraklion city, the after dark action happens around the port.

     
    Traditional Greece

     

    Traditional Greece

    The resorts of Gouves and Kokkini Hani tick all the boxes for traditional Greek architecture. You'll get your fix of history and culture here with iconic sites and landmarks to snap, mix this with modern tourist must-haves including bars, restaurants and quality accommodation and make a day (or two) of it! Don’t miss Heraklion Old Town and the Bronze Age Palace of Knossos on its outskirts.

    Grab Your Flippers!

    From banana boats on Malia Central Beach to scuba diving off a boat in Dia, the Heraklion area offers lots of opportunities to do more than just paddle and swim in the sea. The area is also home to both the island’s major waterparks, Watercity and Aqua Plus Water Park, so adrenaline junkies can slide themselves silly!

    We sell package holidays organised by other tour operators (the “Supplier/Principal”) on their behalf as their agent. In this case the package holiday consisting of flights (or other transport arrangements), accommodation or car hire and any other tourist services accounting for a significant proportion of the holiday, will have been pre-arranged by the Supplier/Principal and is available to book through us. You must read the applicable supplier(s) terms & conditions, carefully before making any booking. Your contract will be with the third-party Supplier/Principal organising the package and not with Teletext Holidays. These package holidays are protected by the Supplier/Principal. When you buy a flight inclusive holiday, this will be protected by the ATOL of the Supplier/Principal organising the package. Teletext Holidays is only acting as an agent on behalf of the Supplier/Principal in these circumstances. Please see our booking conditions for further information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: http://www.atol.org.uk/ATOLcertificate.
