Well ilovecrete I'd like to think I'm not all bad! We certainly share a love of Crete. Enjoy your imminent visit.

To the OP of this thread (helsey) - I don't think you've mad a bad choice in Hersonissos - my wife and I had our honeymoon there (although it was in a hotel a few miles south - Village Heights golf resort). We found that you could get some good prices (especially Mythos) as it generally appeals to the youth party culture of binge drinking. But during the day it was a nice place.

We only ate out a couple of times in Hersonissos on the evenings and although it was 'quite lively' it wasn't too bad at all. We did find that Piskopiano was a much better scene for a quiet but enjoyable night out for a meal and drinks so would highly recommend this little village. Also a nice place for a night out (and a liitle more lively than Piskopiano but not as lively as hersonnisos) was a place called Koutouloufari which again was very nice.

Hope this helps,

Justin

So far I have stayed in Plakias (south west), Georgioupolis (north west) and recently Sissi (North east). I can reccommend each one although it is 21 years since I went to Plakias. We like small traditional resorts with lots of lovely authentic tavernas and haven't been disappointed.
