Hersonissos is one of the most prominent Crete resort located less than 30 km east of Heraklion centre. Among the dozens of taverns to enjoy there, Harakas is one that has been praised as a top choice. The venue follows the local tradition – the atmosphere is typically Cretan, and so is the menu. The portions are big. Some of the meals are hard to find elsewhere; others are more typical. Taverna Harakas is widespread and might be crowded.
