APOLLO CLUB
Hersonissos, Crete
Hersonissos is such a lively town in Crete, and the best neighborhood is definitely Sarantaris and Limenas Chersonisou. It’s the perfect mix of chill beach days and fun evenings out.

Heraklion, Crete
While the beaches are great, we went to Heraklion mostly for the shopping, and it didn't disappoint! It’s the best place on the island to find everything from big international brands to local treasures.
