I will tell you about a wonderful holiday in the wonderful hotel Hersonissos Maris 4 *!
The hotel met with hospitality and smiles of employees, silence, tranquility, sea and greenery.
They settled within 30 minutes, although we arrived at 11:30 and it was 2.5 hours before the official check-in time. The room was excellent, it was cool and cozy on the first floor, there were flowers and pomegranate trees near the room. The room has everything you need, a wonderful bathroom, excellent cleaning every day, regardless of the tip, clean linen and snow-white towels.
The hotel is located on the outskirts of Hersonissos, guaranteeing you a calm, measured rest, clean air, excellent beaches (near the hotel there are 3 beaches of your choice), healthy sleep and a sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ positive from communicating with kind, measured, smiling, executive, Greek people in the face hotel staff.

If you want to relax today, stay at the hotel and enjoy the sea breeze, sunset and moonlit path on the waves of the crystal clear sea, in which even in the light of the moon you can see the smallest pebble at the bottom.
If you want fun from the hotel to the city center and streets with restaurants and bars, cafes, shops and vibrant nightlife, walk about 15 minutes (or a taxi 7 euros). Walking is not scary, it is safe everywhere, and very useful after a delicious dinner in a restaurant.
About the restaurant, and this is actually a restaurant with service, serving and a huge selection of delicious dishes, only positive memories and not a single glass or washed plate.
Yes, if you are going to Hersonissos you have chosen the right city. It has everything for a wonderful holiday - beaches, good hotels, shops, bars, clubs, attractions.
If you are going to Crete, be sure to plan to rent a car and see the island - without this, the idea of ​ ​ u200bu200bthe island and the country will be minimal. The roads in Crete are without a single pothole, the junctions are quite simple, you can see everything yourself without expensive excursions and with stops at those beaches where you want, in those taverns you want to dine in, etc.
Be sure to visit Agios Nikolaos - incredible beauty, Elounda with wonderful beaches, by the way, in Elounda I recommend the Ergospasio restaurant overlooking the sea - insanely delicious for a reasonable price, huge portions and compliments from the institution in the form of a bottle of Pinot Noir champagne, fruit platter + many different tasty treats during lunch / dinner with huge shrimp with pasta in white sauce, delicious pork with vegetables, an indispensable Greek salad and always delicious orange fresh juices and all this for 30 euros for 3 (we didn’t eat everything, it was very, very much and very, very tasty ).

About excursions - the cave of Zeus is not worth attention, nothing interesting, and climbing a mountain vertically upwards in such heat is unbearable. Disappointment awaits at the top - you need to climb the same amount down into a cold cave with slippery steps and there is a bridge under it with water where gullible tourists throw money and pebbles.
For believers, a visit to the monastery of Our Lady of the Heart in Kera is a must, where you yourself will understand why you should definitely visit there.
I will definitely go to Crete again and to this hotel.
I wish you a pleasant stay and unforgettable impressions!
