Analipsis Holiday Information
The small traditional town of Analipsis rests roughly 24 kilometres from Heraklion and is a stones throw from the harbour of Hersónisos. It has been relatively untouched by tourism, and as such has retained a strong sense of culture. Walking down its streets, you will probably pass a few Greek women sitting with their needlework, and hear the locals shout “Kalimera” – good morning! With its friendly atmosphere and closeness to the sea, Analipsi is a perfect place for a beach holiday.
Loosen up in Analipsis
The beachfront of Analipsi stretches across the whole edge of town, although be careful on the western side because its rocky! As you head to the east, there are many comfortable sandy coves away from the wind where the waves lap lazily up to the beach. If you continue walking, you will come across the beautiful beaches of Kokkini Hani, Gouves and Anissaras. After a spell of sunbathing or swimming, you can stroll through the narrow streets up to the square. As you walk up the promenade, there are countless cosy tavernas and restaurants, offering a refreshing drink or a delicious meal with a view out to the crystal clear Aegean sea.
Activities around Analipsis
