Hersonissos is the land of eleven villages and we did them all. My friend and I went to: Agriana, Analipsis, Anissaras, Avdou, Gonies, Limin Hersonissos, Kera, Koutouloufari, Old Hersonissos, Piskopiano, and Potamies. Since the Hersonissos villages were so full of life, beauty, tradition, friendliness and history we opted to spend 2 to 3 days and 1 or 2 nights in them all. In Agriana we admired the churches and eat along the river. In Gonies we hiked in the mountains and celebrated the festival of Our Lord with the villagers and ate food, had service and laughed. Kera was the place of worshipping practices that we never heard of and weird ritual ceremonies and dress. Old Hersonissos was a tropical paradise where we swam and took pictures by the palm trees. Every village had its own culture and variety of character. Each one is worth visiting and if you can visit them all it is all the better. And don't worry about booking places to sleep beforehand. Being so small there is always space and they allow you to share.
