Heraklion and Crete have a long history. One of the first recorded civilizations, Minoans, established their kingdom near today’s Heraklion. The remains of the palace in Knossos are on public display and main features are still nicely visible. More about history and life of Heraklion.

A little guide around historic sites and photos can be found on Miss Tick’s Diary.

If you decide to stay in Heraklion for more than one day, you can check available Hotels in Heraklion. There’s plenty of choice.

Another, a little bit more relaxed and food oriented guide about Heraklion, tells us that Heraklion is a nice place to hang out. When I was in Crete few years back I took with me memories of three things: lamb, fetaki and their olives (sun and weather on Crete obviously makes miracles).

I am sure that you can get back nice memories too, especially if you explore the wider area around the city - with hiring a car in one of Heraklion’s local car hire providers.

This blog is intended for all travelers mentioned above. Its aim is to provide good review of the destinations available in our reservation system for all, decided or undecided.
