Kokkini Hani was originally a small fishing village which became a popular weekend spot for the residents of nearby Heraklion, thanks to the area’s sandy beaches and clean waters.

On the east side of Kokkini Hani, close to Vathianos Kambos and near the shore, you can walk by the small archaeological site of Niros Villa. Niros was a mansion that was used as the residence of a senior Minoan priest who probably ruled the local Minoan harbor. The site, dating to the Late Minoan Times, is open to visitors and is a good chance to see how a Minoan religious building was built 4000 ago. The excavation has revealed several large bronze axes, which were the symbols of Knossos, jars and many clay utensils and items. • Knossos Palace Five km south of Heraklion lies Knossos, one of the most important archeological sites in Europe, the legendary center of the Minoan civilization from 1900 to 1400 BC.
