Places near Agios Georgios
The best spot in Old Hersonissos is definitely the round village square, surrounded by little tavernas and with a fountain in the middle. The square on summer evenings it is full of life. Locals and tourists fill the tavernas to try tasty Cretan dishes, drink the local wine and have fun with their friends. In recent years the tavern owners have organised a Cretan evening once a week, usually on Mondays, with live music and traditional dances.

Church of Our Lady in Arhontiko
The church of Our Lady on the north side of Arhontiko is a single – aisled cemetery church with frescoes dating back to 1352, during the reign of Emperor Ioannis E΄ Palaiologοu, as it is indicated by an inscription on its walls. The temple is consistent with the usual pictorial representations found in this kind of temples.
In the small, traditional village of Houmeri, dating from the Venetian period, lies the homonymous fountain. The renovated fountain is situated on the west side of the village at the Foothills of Houmeriani Kefala, as it is said. Cool and clean water runs from the fountain, as it comes from a spring. The surrounding area is always clean and trees with thick foliage create an ideal environment for anyone who wants to rest in the shade or enjoy a meal, since benches and tables have been placed for the visitors.
Church of Our Lady in Houmeri
The single – aisled church of Our Lady in Houmeri has frescoes dating to the late 15th century. It has been extended to the west and south side, leading to the destruction of the murals. The pictorial decoration represents the provincial style of painting and it is of particular interest, as drafts of saints are saved, which is something extremely rare.
