On the map

Heraklion has always been a much-coveted site. This beautiful Cretan town was born in the Minoan period and attracted the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Genoese, Venetians and Turks who all contributed in their own ways to shaping the face of the town and of Crete. Heraklion today is the island's capital and main town and a great tourist destination, easily accessible from Greece by plane or ferry..

Things to see and do

A sun-drenched island steeped in the myths of the Mediterranean, Crete and its capital, Heraklion, are always full of surprises. Incredible beaches such as Limanakia attract tourists who want to make the most of the sun and tranquillity. But a visit to the town is also highly recommended for its Venetian fortress, Ottoman fountains, Agios Minas cathedral and the Lions Square, the nerve centre of the town. Five kilometres from the town, the two thousand year old site of Knossos with its famous Palace of Minos will transport you back to ancient Crete in search of the labyrinth where the terrifying Minotaur was hidden. In Heraklion you can also find some of the healthiest cuisine in the world, based on fish, vegetables, fruit and olive oil: the secret of the longevity of the Cretans and perhaps of Crete too.
