Rent a Car at Piskopiano

The villages of Piskopiano and Koutouloufari rest above Hersonissos town on the slopes of Mount Harakas, approx. 25km east of Heraklion. They are both small traditional villages that seem to have first developed in the Middle Ages when people were retreating from the coastal areas to avoid pirate raids and find places of safety.

Wander through the narrow streets, sit in quaint cafés and get lost in cute souvenir shops with local products and handmade crafts. As the sun goes down, find a roof terrace and enjoy the uninterrupted view of the sea and Dia island while feeling the distant buzz from Hersonissos nightlife starting.

Enjoy the evenings by siting for a long time, ordering a wide variety of mezedes (tapas) in one of the many local taverns and watching the world go by as the wine and raki keep coming.
