Unlock Heraklion, the heart of Crete

Unlock Heraklion, the heart of Crete Heraklion, the capital of Crete, is like an open history book, with every page filled with legends. The Knossos Palace ruins are a must-visit. It was the center of Minoan civilization and the prototype of the labyrinth in ancient Greek mythology. The palace covers a large area, with a complex architectural structure, many rooms, and crisscrossing passages, as if it really hides a mysterious labyrinth. The frescoes are also a must-see. The "Bull Dance" vividly shows the life scenes of the people at that time, and the bright colors are still dazzling after thousands of years. The Venetian Walls are the historical guardians of the city. They witnessed the rise and fall of Heraklion during the Venetian rule. The tall and thick walls and strong fortresses bear the smoke of war in the past. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a treasure trove of cultural relics, with a large collection of precious Minoan artifacts, exquisite gold jewelry, uniquely shaped pottery, and vivid sculptures, telling the story of that history sealed by time. In the modern district, the strong Mediterranean style is overwhelming. On the seaside promenade, cafes and restaurants are lined up. Order a Greek-style kebab and a cup of fragrant coffee, watch the sunset glow on the sea, and feel the unique romance and comfort of this city.
