Kokkini Hani, located on the northern coast of Crete just 13 kilometers east of Heraklion, is a laid-back seaside village that combines local charm with modern convenience. Known for its long sandy beach, the area offers both organized sections with sunbeds and more natural, unspoiled stretches—perfect for those looking to relax by the sea without the crowds. The shallow, calm waters make it especially appealing for families with children.

The village is well equipped with everything you might need during your stay, including cafés, restaurants, bakeries, mini-markets, and pharmacies, all within easy walking distance. Its proximity to Heraklion and the airport (just a 10–15 minute drive) makes it an especially convenient base for exploring central Crete.

Nearby attractions include the popular Cretaquarium in Gournes, the family-friendly Dinosauria Park, and the world-renowned archaeological site of the Palace of Knossos. For a more urban experience, the city of Heraklion—with its museums, shopping, and vibrant food scene—is also close by.

Additionally, there is a sub-training facility located near the villa, offering further opportunities for sports and fitness activities within the vicinity.

With its relaxed atmosphere, easy access to amenities, and central location, Kokkini Hani offers an ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and authentic Cretan charm.
