Anissaras is a large hilly area offering beautiful vistas throughout. It is a place more known for relaxation than activity, and most of the bars and restaurants come in the shape of the resort’s hotels like Aldemar Royal Mare. Heraklion is just 24 kilometres from Anissaras and is the fifth largest city in Greece. A bustling metropolis, it’s more modern than many other options on the island. It’s a vibrant city which boasts a Venetian fortress, Turkish fountains and a number of chic coffee shops to spend your afternoons in. Redevelopment of the city’s waterfront has led to it being a hub for the city, here, you will find a number of amazing eateries and bars to taste a local tipple or two. In terms of culture, the Archaeological Museum should be high on people’s agendas, housed in an old power station, it spans several thousand years through a number of cultures. The Battle of Crete museum is an interesting site for those with a keen interest in warfare, while the Basilica of St. Mark is a stunning home to great pieces of local art.
