About

The Big Blue serves Crete from Pontou & Makedonias 10, Anisaras, Chersonisos 700 14, Greece, on the northern coast east of Heraklion. Visitors have left 547 reviews and a 4.6/5 rating, a strong record for a venue in this part of the island.

Anisaras sits within the Chersonisos area, which is reachable from Heraklion and the resorts along the north coast. The site is listed at http://the-bigblue.gr/ for those planning a visit in advance. Heraklion, Chania and Rethymno are the main towns travellers move between on this side of Crete.

Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus, so learning a few place names helps with directions. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March, so the busier months fall earlier in the year.

Rethymno and Chania lie further west along the same coast, giving visitors a natural route between the island's northern towns. A stop in Anisaras fits easily into a day moving between Heraklion and the resort areas nearby.
