Things to do in Heraklion

Welcome to Heraklion! A lively and historic city in the center of Crete. I have lived here most of my life so I know a few things I can share with you, my guests! Here are some things I suggest you do while you are here. I chose places that are either in the city or outside but easy to access. Of course there are much more places to visit around Crete or in the area but you should better ask for particular info. I will be happy to help you plan your trip.
