The village of Chersonissos on the island of Crete

Chersonissos is together with Malia the party center of the island of Crete. Chersonissos is the number one tourist destination on the island for a lot of people because of the wide choice of restaurants, bars and disco's. A lot of them come here to party all night and lie by the pool or on the beach in the daytime. It comes with its own McDonalds, a crowded not to big a beach (with people with hangovers?), some nice, some concrete modern buildings, cars and motors, souvenir shops, tavernas...let's just say it's lively, and to some people this has some appeal. It can be okay, but I repeat: also rent a car and see some more of the island which is more authentic and more 'Greek'.
