User reviews
"Hersonisos has a beach that I absolutely adore. The water is crystal clear and there are numerous rocks, caves, corals, and fish, making it ideal for snorkeling. It's not a crowded beach, and it's mainly frequented by locals. However, there is not much shade, so it's important to bring sunscreen. Snorkelers should be cautious of sharp rocks and occasional waves."
