Hersonissos provides more than just sun, sea, and party opportunities.

Within the confines of the Municipality of Hersonissos, three exceptional museums await your visit, making them essential additions to your must-do list!

The Menelaos Parlamas Agricultural Museum & Theano Metaxa-Kanakaki Weaving Collection is situated in the picturesque village of Piskopiano. Explore exhibits such as wine presses, ‘rakokazano’ (cauldron used in the distillation process for making raki), agricultural tools, and more, offering a unique glimpse into the authentic culture of Crete.

In Hersonissos, you'll find the Lychnostatis Museum of Traditional Life in Crete, along with the Stone and Mantinada Museum – an open-air venue that offers a journey into Cretan nature, art, and tradition.

In Episkopi, a significant village in the region, you can find the Argyrakio War Ethnological Museum, established by Michalis Argyrakis in memory of his parents, who endured torture and lost their lives during World War II.
