Analipsi is a small town 20 km from Heraklion and the famous seaside resort of Hersonissos, so often in the address designations you can find “Analipsi Hersonissos”. It can not even be called a city, but a small Cretan village, and the opening of the tourism industry here began later than the rest of the resorts of Crete.
This is a charming place that attracts tourists with lush green streets, miniature houses and olive fields.
Now, watching the life of the resort, beautiful hotels and well-groomed beaches, we think that this has always been the case here. This is not entirely true, because until the 1980s, there was nothing in Analipsi except for fields and a few houses.
Every year in Analipsi open more hotels, apartments, and all of them are in demand. The area has wonderful nature, clean sea and rich history. The place is small, but very promising.
Hotels of different levels are waiting for their guests, and now we will consider the most famous and best of them.
