Piskopiano holidays: Where to atart

The best way to begin a tour of Piskopiano is to take a stroll through the historic village streets. Piskopiano has a history stretching back to the middle ages and today some fascinating buildings still stand from that period. Look out for Agios Vassilios, a church built in 1840, sitting in front of a much older church. A portion of this older site is still well preserved. When you want to take a dip in the clear blue waters, get down to the beaches at Hersonissos. With great facilities, this area is perfect for relaxing in the sun, or taking part in some watersports. There are other great beaches at Kokkini Hani, Agios Nikolaos and Elounda. Visitors can take a day trip to the neighbouring villages of Ano Hersonissos and Koutouloufari, both traditional towns with panoramic views of the sea. In the evening, choose one of Piskopiano's restaurants located in the streets of the historic village.
