Short visit to Crete, Heraklion, Greece
Reviews > Europe > Greece > Heraklion > Short visit to Crete



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.

Kavala Travel guide
Kavala is the second largest city of Greece, and a major tourist destination. Kavala is also called the azure city, and it is the largest port in the Aegean Sea. The city looms over a beautiful bay, looking very much like the Byzantine fortress it used to be in the past. Kavala is a city steeped in rich history, and many of its landmarks are a reminder of its glorious past.
