Heraklion
Gateway to Crete's ancient wonders
Heraklion is Crete's largest city, its Venetian harbor fortress and old town walls a short drive from the Palace of Knossos and the island's Bronze Age history. The Archaeological Museum holds the leading collection of Minoan artifacts, and the coast mixes city beaches with resort strips further along.
