Heraklion
Why go to Heraklion
Heraklion in Greece has built its reputation on long lunches that drift into the evening and sunset views from a harbourside bar — the kind of place that rewards slowing down rather than rushing between sights. Minoan ruins and Crete's liveliest capital.
Flights land at HER airport, and the pace on the ground is generally sociable — expect the day to be built around the beach, with everything else fitted in around it. Heraklion is well suited to both a short week away and a longer, slower two-week stay.
