Kri Kri Village by Estia, Hersonissos

Kri Kri Village by Estia is a 2-star base in Hersonissos, Crete, suited to travelers who want straightforward comfort near the coast without paying for frills. Set in the Gournes Pediados area of Heraklion (Gournes Pediados, Heraklion, Hersonissos, Crete Island, 71500), it’s a practical choice if you plan days around the beach and nearby family attractions. The hotel’s location places Hersonissos Beach about 1 km away, while Star Beach Water Park is roughly 1.5–2 km from the property and Cretaquarium is around 3 km, so you can mix swimming, sightseeing, and indoor activities without long transfers.

Guests rate the hotel 8.4/10 based on 19 reviews, and the feedback tends to highlight a calm, budget-friendly atmosphere that works well for short stays. Many visitors mention that the outdoor pool is a useful fallback between outings, and that free WiFi helps with simple planning and staying in touch. Practical touches also come up in reviews: luggage storage makes arrival and departure easier, and a safe-deposit box at the front desk supports peace of mind.

Breakfast is available for a surcharge, which is handy if you prefer to start the day on-site rather than searching immediately after waking. The hotel also notes designated smoking areas and limited front desk hours, so it’s worth planning check-in and any questions around those times. With hiking and biking trails nearby and a generally family-friendly setup, Kri Kri Village by Estia is best for families and budget travelers who want a low-key base in Hersonissos rather than a high-energy, nightlife-focused stay.
