When to visit

The best time to visit Hersonissos is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is warm and sunny. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices. Spring and fall are also good times to visit as the weather is still pleasant, and there are fewer tourists. Winter is the low season with cooler temperatures and some businesses may be closed.

Getting around

Hersonissos is a relatively small town that can easily be explored on foot. There are also local buses that connect the town to nearby attractions and villages. Taxis are available for longer distances or for more convenience. Renting a car is a popular option for exploring the surrounding areas and beaches at your own pace. Bicycles and scooters can also be rented for a fun way to get around.

Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local seafood dishes, as Hersonissos is known for its fresh fish and seafood. Be prepared for the strong sun by wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated. Respect the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting churches or historical sites. Bargaining is not common in shops, so be prepared to pay the listed prices. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, but learning a few basic Greek phrases can enhance your experience. Be cautious of pickpockets in crowded areas.
