Hersonissos is a town and a local government unit in the north of Crete, bordering the Mediterranean / Aegean Sea. The town is about 25 kilometers east of Heraklion and west of Agios Nikolaos.

The seat of the local government unit is the village of Gournes.

Nestled on the northern coast of the island of Crete, Hersonissos is a popular tourist destination for those seeking sun, sea, and sand. With its crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and bustling nightlife, it's no wonder that Hersonissos is a firm favorite amongst holidaymakers.
