The capital town of the most densely populated prefecture in Crete, Heraklion is the gateway passed through by most visitors to the island. It is one of the most historic cities in the Mediterranean, with an urban character buzzing with life in both summer and winter! It was here that the Minoan civilization enjoyed its heyday, and where you can discover the unique masterpieces of the Minoan era in the city’s archaeological museum, one of the most important in Europe, or at Knossos, Phaestus and Archanes.
The more recent past can still be seen in all its glory in the Venetian walls of the city, the old Ottoman buildings, the Loggia, the Basilica of Saint Mark, the Morosini Fountain on Lions Square, and the Koules Fort. No contemporary account of Heraklion would be complete without a reference to the exceptional Cretan cuisine, the lively evening entertainment available in Hersonisos and Malia, and the wide choice of hotels and resorts, with something available to suit every taste.
