The resort of

Hersonissos

• Hersonissos Town

Hersonissos is one of the most popular tourist resorts in Crete, located 28km east of Heraklion . Here you will find whatever you desire. During the day you can enjoy nice beaches or water parks, drink your coffee in the seaside road, visit the local archaeological sites, stroll in the villages of Ano Hersonissos , Piskopiano and Koutouloufari , trek in the gorges of Avdou valley, visit the Lassithi Plateau and much more. Similarly, during the night the choices for entertainment are too many, with the nightclubs of the coastal road gathering most people. Hersonissos in summer is crowded by young tourists, coming from all latitudes and longitudes of the earth to enjoy their vacation.

A brief tour in Hersonissos

Before its rapid development, Hersonissos was a small harbor that served the needs of the local fishermen. Over the years the port grew and the village became a small town and a popular tourist resort. On the west side of the coastal road, 1km west of the harbor, you will find the Cape of Sarandaris with the picturesque chapel of Saint George , which is worth visiting. From there start the alternating coves of Hersonissos with the nice colored beaches. Along the coast there are many hotels, cafes and restaurants.

East of the coves you will meet the cape of Kastri , west of which the main town actually starts. Over the hill, you should visit the ruins of an old basilica with many mosaics. Just on the east is the picturesque chapel of Agia Paraskevi , part of which is built into the rock. The Church overlooks the nearby scenic port of Hersonissos with its beautiful lighthouse . Excursion boats run daily from the port, making trips to Dia island and the surrounding coast.

The seaside road that crosses the town starts in the port. There are many nightclubs, cafes, restaurants and bars on the road. Here you will find thousands of tourists partying in the nights until dawn. If you turn from the road and head north, you will find yourself in the small narrow streets of Hersonissos and after a while you will reach the main road, which has many restaurants, shops, banks, clinics, pharmacies, etc. If you walk to the east instead, along the coastal road, you’ll meet the bustling beaches of the eastern Hersonissos and the great hotels of the region. Nearby there is a water park and kart. As you head to the east, the beaches get more peaceful. There, before Cape Drapano , you will find the traditional museum Lychnostatis, which is worth visiting to see how Cretans lived in the past.

Hersonissos has been inhabited since the Minoan period (at least), due its good climate and the natural harbor formed east of Kastri Hill (in the location of the current port). Traces of the harbor and the Minoan settlements in Kastro and Anisaras have been found.

Later, in the Classic years, Hersonissos was an independent city, but not too strong.

In the Hellenistic times, Heronissos was the port of Lyttos city (close to today’s Kastamonitsa ). It was strong and had its own currency, with a symbol of a boat. From this period, a part of a temple dedicated to the goddess  Vritomartis  has been excavated over Kastri Hill, where many coins, vases and figurine parts have been extracted. Around it, you still can see parts of the walls that protected the hill. In Hersonissos, excavation revealed a cemetery of this period with a large number of pottery, jewelry and coins.

During the Roman period, Hersonissos flourished and its geographic position made it stronger than Lyttos . The theater of this period is not preserved today, as its inhabitants destroyed it in order to use the stones as building materials. Lastly, in the coastal road you will see the pyramidal structure with mosaics, called Sarakinos .

In early Christian times, Hersonissos continued to dominate the region. The most important finding of this period is the basilica on the hill Kastri. It was built in the 6th century and seems to have collapsed by an earthquake. The architecture was influenced by Syriac standards and was decorated with mosaics, some of which survive in good condition. The hill was surrounded by strong walls, traces of which exist. Another basilica has been found 2km east of the port. Part of the church is covered by the sea and you'll see mosaic floors, much nicer than those of Kastri.

During the Turkish occupation, the port was used to supply the Cretan rebels. Later, it was used for the exportation of local products (oil and carob).

See in Google Maps

The first beach you come across east of the port of Hersonissos is a long sandy narrow beach, which is flooded by thousands of people. It is very well organized and close to the amenities of the city. However, it is inappropriate for those who do not like crowds.

The Coves of Hersonissos are located 27km east of Heraklion, starting from Cape Sarandaris and continuing to the east till the harbour of Hersonissos. They are really beautiful beaches with calm waters, since Cape Sarandaris protects them from the northwest winds.

Hersonissos is a very busy, touristic town located 28km east of Heraklion. 2km east of the Hersonissos port, you'll find several nice coves, that constitute the complex of east Hersonisos beaches.

The present town of Hersonissos retains the name of the ancient city of Hersonissos or Heronissos. The town existed since the Minoan period, but flourished after the conquest of Crete by the Romans.

Aquaworld Aquarium has been operating since 1995 by John McLaren and is located very close to the main road of Hersonissos.

The Open-air Museum Lychnostatis was founded in 1992 by the doctor and collector George Makrakis. The buildings themselves are some of the main exhibits as they were built thoroughly with the prevalent raw materials (stone-wood-clay).

The Menelaos Parlamas Museum of Rural Life & Theano Metaxa-Kanakaki Weaving Collection, housed in a 19th century stone-built olive mill and house, was founded by the Society of Cretan Historical Studies in 1988.

The Early Christian basilica of Agios Nikolaos is located east of Hersonissos town, at the site of the current church of St. Nicholas. The basilica of the 6th century had dimensions 50mx19m. It was decorated with a mosaic floor which is preserved in better quality than the floor of the nearby basilica in Kastri.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

Radiators fail once more: Moscow suburbs residents appeal to Putin

R esidents across the Moscow suburbs are besieged by a heating problem, for which they plead direct intervention from President Vladimir Putin. These individuals have yet to experience any semblance of home heating since winter started due to a dwindling supply of heating oil. The issue, one largely avoided by local authority communication, has left residents desperate to the point of directly appealing to the president.

While plots have been uncovered to disrupt Ukraine's infrastructure for a second consecutive winter, thus depriving civilians of heating, it seems Russians are now mired in their crisis. Irony drips from the fact that those under Putin's leadership are looking to cause turmoil in Ukraine, yet at home, they face a similar predicament.

Many dwellings within the Moscow agglomeration are presently without heat. The capital's residents are desperate, directly appealing to President Putin due to a perceived lack of alternate avenues for assistance. The absence of suitable heating functionality since winter commenced pushes them towards desperation with no relief in sight.

This seems improbable, but in Russia, it appears that anything can happen.

It remains uncertain if Vladimir Putin is actively addressing the heating crisis. Some experts suggest that Russia's heating oil reserves are depleting, which negatively affects residents' quality of life. Plagued by cold radiators and plummeting winter temperatures, these citizens have directly addressed their pleas to their head of state.

This heating crisis is happening in Elektrostal, a town approximately 71 miles from Moscow.

Ironically, Russia has constantly aimed to destroy the Ukrainian infrastructure since war broke out, deliberately trying to leave Ukrainians without heating during the harsh winters, aiming to break their strong will. It's an irony they now struggle with a domestic heating crisis, particularly near Moscow, their largest and most pivotal city.

Desperate individuals are reaching out to Vladimir Putin. They question his knowledge of the heating infrastructure conditions in the Moscow suburbs and the dire situations residents face there. Sundown brings no relief from the harsh Russian winter and without heating, their houses turn cold. With elections nearing, more and more residents find themselves reaching out directly to their president.

"Since winter's start, we've been without heating. This has been a yearly occurrence for the past three years. Despite paying for heating, we don't have enough. We implore you, help us!" - these are the desperate pleas from the heavily dressed populace dealing with the Russian winter conditions.

Experts attribute the heating oil shortage to international sanctions and surging demands for diesel fuel, pivotal to military operations. Russia now grapples with a dearth of raw materials essential for boiler and heating plant operation. As supplies dwindle, houses grow cold with little hope of any immediate corrective intervention.

It would be adequate if the war ceased, residents were prioritized, and attention accorded to their welfare.
