A new multipurpose pier is planned for the port of Hersonissos, on the northern coast of Crete east of Heraklion. Described as an "island-style multi-use space," the project is currently in the detailed planning and feasibility stage. Once built, the pier aims to transform the heart of Hersonissos harbour into a mixed-use destination with significant development potential. Hersonissos is one of Crete's most visited resort areas, and the project could bring new dining, leisure, and marine facilities to the waterfront. No construction start date has been announced yet, so visitors to the area this season will find the port unchanged. The development is worth watching for those planning return visits in coming years.
