The southernmost island of Greece in the Aegean Sea is a magical land with beautiful beaches, cities seemingly sculpted by mythological beings in ancient times, fishing villages forgotten today and picturesque resorts. With a coastline of 1,000 kilometers lined with caves, bays and peninsulas, Crete captivates you at first sight and takes you through a world where only history manages to match the greatness of the island landscapes and the typical Hellenic Mediterranean nature.

Heraklion is currently the most important city in Turkey in the southern region, bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean. Heraklion was founded by the Greeks around 200 BC. later it was conquered by the Roman Empire, and after almost a millennium it became part of the Ottoman Empire. Today Heraklion is the most important tourist resort in Greece, thanks to the massive investments in the hotel industry and hospitality encouraged by the state.

The city is very accessible, being connected to the local airport and the seaport. Heraklion has important remains and archeological sites, museums, but also some of the most beautiful beaches on the Greek coast.
