About Heraklion

Located on the eastern side of the island, Crete’s capital is a thriving port city, but the working docks soon give way to a bustling metropolis of cafés, bars and restaurants that are bursting with locals and tourists alike, giving way to a hot nightlife when the sun goes down.

Yet for Heraklion’s fast-paced urban vibe, it’s also home to some of Crete’s major sightseeing attractions. Lose yourself in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum as you marvel at the treasures of days gone by, including Snake Goddess figures from 1600BC to the famous bull’s head rhyton, or visit the nearby Minoan Palace of Knossos, an archaeological site complex of 1,300 rooms that’s famous for its connection to Greek mythology, namely the tale of the Labyrinth and the Minotaur.

Wine lovers should explore Dafnes wine country just 10 miles south of the city – Boutari, which operates wineries all over Greece, offers a wine tasting experience, where you’ll sip its finest wine while overlooking its luscious vineyards under the Mediterranean sun.
