Herakleion, Crete

With the Venetian air still breathing in the old city, the Minoan civilization that has left indelible marks on Knossos, the authentic Cretan cuisine stirring smells in every corner of the city and its attractive sandy beaches, Heraklion is a must to visit this summer.
For your accommodation, choose high-end hotels of all categories, either in the city or in the nearby sandy beaches with their blue waters, in Ammoudara, Agia Pelagia or the famous tourist resort of Limenas Hersonissos.
Walk along the Venetian harbor with the medieval fortress of Koules and continue to the center with neoclassical buildings, the Venetian Lujia, the noblemen’s club and the church of St. Titus leading to the Lions Square.
