Known for its sandy beaches and welcoming vibe, it’s a favorite spot for families, couples, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape by the Aegean Sea.

A Brief History

Once a small fishing settlement, Kokkini Hani began to grow when travelers discovered its tranquil shores in the early 20th century. The area’s name comes from an old roadside inn (“hani”) that was painted red (“kokkini”), serving as a rest stop for those journeying between Heraklion and the east of the island.

When to Visit

The best time to experience Kokkini Hani is from late May to early October when the weather is warm and the sea is perfect for swimming. Spring and autumn offer mild temperatures and fewer crowds, making it a great choice for a quiet getaway. July and August are lively, ideal for those who enjoy a vibrant holiday energy.

Kokkini Hani is all about relaxation, but there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Enjoy sunbathing and water sports on sandy beaches, taste delicious local dishes at seafront tavernas, or explore ancient ruins and nearby attractions like the Cretaquarium and historical sites in Heraklion.
