Discover Heraklion, the largest urban center of Crete! A modern city with Venetian and Ottoman traces that constantly remind us of its medieval past. If you are detail-oriented person, please pay attention to the public artifacts, they all hide a lot of city stories. Time-travel to the magical Minoan past, after all, Knossos is only a breath away from the city! Overall Heraklion is the city of contrasts: modern and noisy with a deep history behind it. Sometimes it is obvious and sometimes you have to search hard to find it.
