The details
If you're looking for villas in Anissaras, you're likely after a base on Crete's north coast that keeps you close to Hersonissos without staying in the middle of it. Anissaras suits travellers who want a private house with space to spread out, rather than a hotel room, and who would rather wake up somewhere quiet than fall asleep somewhere loud. Families travelling with children, couples wanting a calmer holiday, and groups who want a house to themselves all search this area for the same reason: it sits close enough to the restaurants, shops and beaches of Hersonissos to reach them easily, while offering somewhere calmer to come home to in the evening. This page brings together the villas we manage in and around Anissaras, each with its own layout, setting and outlook.
Anissaras is a small coastal area on the north coast of Heraklion, sitting between Hersonissos and Analipsi, roughly 22 to 25 km east of Heraklion airport. It has a modest seafront with a mix of rocky and sandy stretches, and unlike its busier neighbour Hersonissos, the area itself stays mostly low-rise, built up with villas and a handful of hotels rather than large resorts or a strip of bars. That makes it a practical compromise for anyone who wants proximity without noise: Hersonissos, with its wider choice of restaurants and beaches, is a short drive away, while Anissaras itself stays quieter in the evenings. Analipsi sits on the other side, offering another stretch of the same coastline within easy reach. For a villa stay, this in-between position is the main draw: close to what the north coast has to offer, without being in the busiest part of it.
Every villa on this page is professionally managed by My Creta Villa, and you book directly with us rather than through a listings marketplace. That means a single point of contact before, during and after your stay, from questions about the property to help arranging things once you arrive, with concierge support if you need it. Each villa page shows real photos and a full list of the amenities that particular house actually has, so you can see what you are booking rather than relying on generic descriptions. We look after the practical side of the stay so you can focus on the holiday, whether that is a quiet week by the pool or day trips out to explore the rest of the island. Browse the villas below to find the one that fits your group and your dates.

Yes. Anissaras is calmer than neighbouring Hersonissos, with a mostly low-rise mix of villas and a few hotels rather than a busy strip. You still get an easy drive to Hersonissos when you want its restaurants, beaches or nightlife, but Anissaras itself stays quieter in the evenings.
Anissaras has a small seafront with a mix of rocky and sandy stretches. It is more modest than the main beaches in Hersonissos, which are a short drive away if you want a longer stretch of sand or more beach facilities nearby.
