Limenas Hersonisou is a tiny village on the coast of Crete that is part of the province of Pediados in the Heraklion prefecture. It is located 28 kilometers east of Heraklion, between the towns of Anisaras and Stalis. Its population grows every summer as a result of the influx of tourism employees as well as the large number of tourists who visit Hersonissos for their vacations.

During the 1960s, the port of Hersonissos experienced rapid growth thanks to tourism.villas in hersonissos crete Until then, it was just a little beach village with a small port whose main purpose was to carry agricultural products from the surrounding area.
