Kokini Hani

Situated just 8 miles from the capital Heraklion and just 6 miles from Heraklion airport, the resort of Kokini Hani offers a warm and friendly atmosphere, particularly popular with families.

The resort offers a variety of restaurants, bars and tavernas catering for wide range of tastes and budgets. The night life in Kokini Hani is fairly quiet and low key therefore for a more livelier evening head to Malia or Hersonissos, which can easily be reached by bus or taxi.

The stunning sandy beach is ideal for spending the day relaxing in the sunshine. There are 2 main beaches which are a mix of sand and shingle with shallow waters, ideal for children to play and paddle. Water sports such as surfing, windsurfing and canoeing are popular activities here.

For great family days out there is a water park nearby which offers water slides, wave machines and children's pools, ensuring hours of entertainment for kids and grown ups alike. Other popular excursions include Heraklion archaeological museum, the Minoan palace at Knossos and a boat trip to the Venetian fortress island of Spinalonga.
