Crete is a popular tourist destination, especially in summer, not just for Greeks but also for people from all over the world. Heraklion is Crete's largest city and, along with Chania, receives the greatest number of visitors each year. Heraklion is of particular importance since, in addition to the natural wonders, the deep blue waters, and the unique local cuisine, visitors may also visit major sites. Thus, among the best locations to visit during one's stay in Crete are the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, the Venetian Fortress, the Museum of Natural History of Crete, the Lyraraki Estate, and the Cathedral of Agios Minas, among others.
In
Heraklion's archeological museum, the entire Minoan civilization is on display.
It is one of Greece's largest and most impressive museums, and it is also one
of Europe's most important museums due to its exhibits and historyIf you have
the opportunity to stay in a hotel in Heraklion during your next trip to Crete,
make sure to visit the museum, which was entirely refurbished in 2014 and is
now more stunning than ever.
Also, don't
miss out on the chance to watch the sunset, walk, fish, or simply wander
through the Venetian harbor of Heraklion. The Venetian port starts on August
25th Street, a pedestrian street that runs from the Lions Center to the Koules
Fortress. It is the city's oldest port, and it now harbors boats and yachts. It
has a history that predates the city itself!
