Away from the beach the hills provide breathtaking, scenic views and there are many outdoor activities available for visitors to experience such as horse riding, mountain biking and golfing. For those looking for history and culture there is the Lychnostiatis, an open air museum which provides an example of local folk heritage. For a family excursion the Aqua World Aquarium is a great day out. When it comes to the night life Hersonissos has many bars and restaurants and provides its visitors with an exciting and busy night scene.
The city of Hersonissos is busiest during the summer months of May through to October, however as to be expected from such a cosmopolitan resort bookings can be made throughout the year when prices are reduced.
