Greek Island Cruise, Heraklion Old Town, Crete Island, Greece

Apr 23, 2023 | Greece, Neighborhood

Heraklion is where the most visited landmark in Crete is located, the Minoan Palace of Knossos.

Heraklion Archaeological Museum: Ξανθουδίδη και, Chatzidaki 1, Iraklio 712 02, Greece

This island is the cruise tour’s last destination and the home of the Minoan Civilization.  The Minoan Palace of Knossos and Heraklion Archaeological Museum is not to miss in this town.  Unfortunately, both places only opened for four hours on the day I arrived, so I had to skip one of them.  I chose to see the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and skipped the Palace.

I took a taxi to the city’s vicinity and walked to the center.
