Chersonissos is well known as one of Crete’s
liveliest resorts, and there is a wide range of tavernas, shops, cafes,
discos and other tourist amenities. Its
sand and shingle beach offers a
wide variety of water sports. Nearby on the hillsides the villages of
Koutouloufari and Piskopiano however are quieter and offer visitors a
much more relaxed and lower key style of holiday.
The
neighbouring coastal resort of Stalis has beautiful sandy beaches and a
rather laid back atmosphere. There is a wide choice of nightlife in the
neighbouring resorts of Chersonissos and Malia, just a short taxi ride
away.
