Heraklion Attractions
Hania - Hania is Hollywood Moussaka. Apart from being the largest city in Western Crete, it's swamped with beautiful Venetian and Turkish buildings and this, along with its harbourside setting, white onion-domed churches, and winding paved laneways make it ideal camera-bait.Iraklio - Iraklio is the main entry point for Crete and is often dismissed as a grim necessity that must be endured in order to get somewhere more inviting. But scratch beneath its traffic-ridden, helter-skelter surface and you'll find a certain urban sophistication coupled with a lively cafe scene.
nossos - This palace, in a beautiful site just southeast of Iraklio, is the most magnificent, intricate and evocative of Crete's Minoan sites. In order to give visitors an idea of what the palace looked like, its discoverer, Sir Arthur Evans, had parts of it reconstructed.
Strategically placed copies of Minoan frescoes help infuse the site with the artistic spirit of these remarkable people.
Arrive here early in the morning before the tour groups arrive and visit the Throne Room, with its simple but beautifully proportioned throne.
Samaria Gorge - Many travellers spend a day trekking though the stupendous 18km (11mi) Samaria Gorge to get to Agia Roumeli on the southwest coast. At the Iron Gates, the gorge measures only 3.5m (11.5ft). Apart from its beauty, the gorge is teeming with wildlife and wildflowers.Further along the south coast, which is too precipitous to support large settlements, are the villages of Loutro and Hora Sfakion, linked by boat to Agia Roumeli.
