Short visit to Crete, Heraklion, Greece
Reviews > Europe > Greece > Heraklion > Short visit to Crete
by After we were back again at Athens, we still had quite much time, so we decided to go to Crete. We went to Heraklion for one day, walked through the city and visited the museum. It has got some nice findings there if you like such things. The city istelf is ok, but not really nice.
You have got to visit the land in the inner island. There are a couple of good restaurants with some nice fresh fish and Greek cuisine that you should visit, if you like local specialities, but the rest is just ok, nothing special.

Chalkida History
During that time, Corinth and Samos were the biggest allies of Chalkida. The three went to war against Eretria, a neighboring city and the best agricultural region. This war was known as the Lelantine War. When Chalkida won, it became the principal city of the island. The city went to war against the Athenians in the 6th century BC and shortly after that, became a member of the Delian League – an association of Greek city-states under the rule of Athens.
