Anissaras

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Anissaras as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Anissaras is located 25 km to the east of Heraklion town.

The area possess a big complex of large hotels and all-inclusive resorts. The hotels face the waterfront and the small sandy beaches with the rocky seabed. The beaches are equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, free of charge for people staying at the local hotels.

The beaches are naturally picturesque and scenic, nevertheless, the patch is rough and rocky in many places. This makes it a good location for snorkelling but divers must always be cautious of the waves when it's windy. The beach in Analipsi has a smoother surface than the other ones and is a better option for families. From there you can find the main coastal road of Annisaras which leads to a complex of hotels. The road continues south and hotels can be found all the way to Cape Sarandis. Visitors can walk along the coast and find a stretch they like since the beach is separated by the hotels in smaller pieces.

Cape Sarandis stands on the easternmost point of Annisaras, there you can find the small chapel of St. George, which is very candid and offers splendid views of the coves on the western part of Hersonissos. You can reach Sarandis both on foot and by car either by walking eastwards or by the road connecting Anissaras and Hersonissos. In close proximity to the cape, you will find the stone-paved footpath leading to the church.

Anissaras might not stand out compared to other villages of Crete, but it makes a good base for exploring the west side of the island and the surrounding traditional villages.

The fortress dates back to the 16th century and is presumed that Cretan rebels were tortured in its underground chambers by mercenaries of the Ottoman Empire during the times of Crete's occupation.
