About Heraklion
The proud city of Heraklion is the modern capital of Crete, largest and most ruggedly beautiful of the Greek Isles.
Just along the coast, you’ll find the scrupulously renovated remains of Knossos, the Palace of King Minos and the island’s capital under the Minoans. Here, the endless maze of salons, staircases and courtyards gave rise to the legend of the Labyrinth, housing the evil Minotaur at its heart. See the legend come vividly to life!Featured shore excursions
