The details
If you are searching for villas in Kokkini Hani, you are likely looking for a base on Crete's north coast that keeps you close to Heraklion without putting you in the middle of the city. Kokkini Hani works well for that. It sits on the coast east of Heraklion, so a villa here gives you a sandy beach nearby, a village with tavernas within reach, and a short drive back into town when you want museums, shopping or the airport. Families weighing up where to stay often compare Kokkini Hani with busier resorts further along the coast. The appeal here is that it stays a real village rather than a purpose-built strip, while still sitting on a main road that makes day trips easy in either direction. This page lists our villas in Kokkini Hani so you can see what is actually available before you decide.
Kokkini Hani is a seaside village on Crete's north coast, about 13 km east of Heraklion. It has a sandy beach and tavernas along the front, and it sits close to the E75, the main road that runs along the north of the island, which makes getting to Heraklion, the airport or towns further east straightforward. The airport is about 15 minutes away by car, which matters if you are arriving on a late flight or want a simple transfer at the end of your stay. Families often plan a visit to the Cretaquarium at nearby Gournes, a short drive from the village. Kokkini Hani also puts you within easy reach of Knossos and central Heraklion, so a villa here suits guests who want to split their time between the beach and a look at the island's history, without a long drive either way.
Every villa on this page is professionally managed by My Creta Villa. We look after these houses on the ground in Crete, so booking direct means dealing with the management company that maintains the property, not a booking platform or a third party.

If you have questions about a specific villa in Kokkini Hani, or want help matching a property to your group and your plans, our concierge support is there to help, before you arrive and during your stay.
