Piskopiano
About
Hillside village just above Hersonissos with views over the coast.
Piskopiano sits on the slope above the Hersonissos resort area. Its old lanes and tavernas feel a world away from the beach strip below, and the terraces look out over the bay.
Around Hersonissos
Heraklion is the heart of Minoan Crete and the island’s busiest region. Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum are the two places almost everyone visits, and they work well together on one day. In the south, the wide Messara plain holds the palace of Phaistos, the Roman ruins of Gortyna and the famous caves above the bay of Matala. More about Heraklion
