Heraklion is characterized both as a cosmopolitan location and as a perfect tourist resort for summer holidays. The small harbors and seaside locations have the perfect atmosphere for eating, strolling, and relaxing, while a little further away, in Heraklion Town, you will find museums, shops, attractions, and many activities. The route that all the locals will recommend is to go up from the harbor to the city center, continue to the Royal Church of St Mark, and a little later, you will arrive at the famous "Lions" fountain. Of course, you can't leave without visiting the palace of Knossos, one of the most ancient monuments of Greek civilization!
