Highlights

Heraklion
Heraklion, also known as Iraklio, is a port city and the capital of the Greek island of Crete. It’s known for the Palace of Knossos, just outside the city. The huge archaeological site dates back thousands of years to the Minoan civilization and includes frescoes and baths. Guarding the city’s Venetian port is the 16th-century Koules fortress. Heraklion Archaeological Museum has a large collection of Minoan art.
Karteros Beach
Karteros is a 1 km long beach, which is named after the Byzantine general Krateros, who landed his ships here in 824 to free Crete from the Saracens. In several places, the bright sand is mixed with rocks of various sizes, particularly along the waterline, and the first couple of metres into the very clear water. Karteros is one of the favourite beaches of the people in Heraklion, especially the young people. They meet here to bask in the sun and the water and listen to the music coming from one of the beach cafés.
