What to do and see in Hersonissos, Crete: The Best Free Things to do
Sandy, peaceful beaches and ancient ruins beckon travelers to Chersonisos, a one-time Roman port on the island of Crete. This is a family-friendly place, with plenty of activities for kids. The Lychnostatis Open Air Museum gives you the chance to explore the trades and lifestyles of early islanders. Exhibits include a herbarium, olive oil and wine presses and workshops on ceramics, shoe making and weaving. The aquarium showcases local sea creatures, as do the town's many traditional cafes, though in a completely different (and more delicious) manner.

Great bar in the centre of piskopiano, a fabulous choice of drinks, and a gin selection that kept my husband happy. Eleni and Michalis are fabulous hosts, and went out of their way to make sure we were covid safe and could watch the F1 with a nice cold drink. Martin at the front of house is great fun and a great waiter, and the DJ played us some great tunes. A great bar to visit if you're in the area.
8. Maria Sanoudaki Ceramic - Art Studio

5.0 based on 96 reviews
Currently open by appointment only. Please do not hesitate to contact with us. Maria Sanoudaki Ceramic│Art Studio is a local studio based in the traditional village of Old Chersonisos in the island of Crete. You will find me in a traditional stone dwelling that used to be the house of my great-grandparents. In my studio you can discover unique handmade ceramic dishes, pots, home decor and elegant ceramic jewelry. Trying to find the sources of my roots, my work is inspired by the folk and ancient art of Crete combined with my constant research on contemporary and abstract art. Each item in the store is unique and handmade. I use different throwing techniques to create wheel-formed ceramic work as well as pottery hand-building techniques; that’s why each item may be slightly different. You are welcome to visit my studio, feel the cretan hospitality and see my art, which is made with love and imagination.

Small very pretty bar. Good jazz mood music playing whilst sitting on a quiet street in the heart of the village. Great offering of drinks with emphasis on cocktails. We had several over a few evenings and they were all excellent, toilets were exceptional and general awareness of Covid protocols were adhered to (in a friendly way) . Well worth a visit
