More About Kokkini Hani

Kokkini Hani was once a quaint fishing village, however, its popularity as a lovely beach escape started to blossom when people from the nearby town of Heraklion started making the trek to the beaches on weekends and holidays. After that, like any good secret, the word got out and you had international visitors flocking to the picturesque sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Fortunately for everybody, those in charge in Kokkini Hani never over did it when it came to catering and bending to make room for more tourists.

When it comes the the environment, and vibe of everything from the beaches to the restaurants and bars, the atmosphere is still very low-key and family-friendly.

There are a plethora of sunloungers and umbrellas spread out along the beach, as well as beach bars - perfect for quenching your thirst after spending all day in the hot, hot, heat.
