Visit Heraklion the easy way - 2024 - beaches, cafes, city, ruins - available TOURS

Visit Heraklion the easy way - 2024 - beaches, cafes, city, ruins - available TOURS and the Palace of Knossos, which is just outside the city. Jean show the easy route by public bus.

The site dates back to the Minoan civilisation and includes frescoes and baths. Guarding the city’s Venetian port is the 16th-century Koules fortress. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is worth seeing. You will be offered trips to Santorini, and hear a lot about the connection between the two islands and the lost city of Atlantis. Plato wrote about an advanced civilisation called Atlantis, which was destroyed when the Santorini volcano erupted. Plato's thoughts have been followed by many other writers, historians, and archaeologists, who also suggest that Minoan Crete was, in fact, Plato's Atlantis, which was wiped out when Santorini blew up. Many do not suggest it is Knossos, though there are grounds for a connection, but the lost trading ports which, could be under the sea or silted over.

Then there are the beaches along the coastal promenade, or cafes and bars in the city which has a bustling modern shopping feel.
