Heraklion Greece Last Updated: 05/12/2025 |
| Heraklion is the largest city of Crete and one of the Mediterranean region's most fascinating and vibrant cities. The city flourished under a multicultural influence throughout the centuries; that’s why there is a plethora of Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman structures to look out for! | |
| The city’s landmark is the 16th c. Koules fortress in the westernmost side of the old Venetian port, which along with the fortification walls (dating back to the same period) are among the most significant and imposing sights. | |
