Kokini Hani Holidays – Simple beach resort near the capital Heraklion
Kokkini Hani is on the north coast of Crete, 3 miles from Gouves, 8 miles from the capital Heraklion and just 6 miles from Heraklion airport. This resort tends to appeal to families or couples looking for a pleasant relatively simple friendly resort with good beaches, modest nightlife and a good selection of popular resorts nearby, easily reached by frequent buses. A holiday here is just a 30 minute bus ride from Heraklion airport. Kokkini Hani has retained a few of its traditional buildings. There is a selection of tavernas and bars, many by the water’s edge, but nightlife here is quiet and low-key in comparison with some of its neighbours.

Kokkini Hani beach is the focus of a break here; two fine long beaches popular with swimmers and children as the beach slopes gently to the sea and is a mix of sand and shingle. The beach at Kokkini Hani is unlikely to be crowded. Children will enjoy the nearby waterpark at Hersonissos. Surfing, windsurfing and canoeing are popular beach activities. Visitors to the resort can also enjoy the sandy beaches at neighbouring resorts like Gouves and Amnisos.
