Heraklion

If you want to experience Crete from every possible angle, you’d be best to start with Heraklion, one of the most lively cities in all of Greece. After taking a cheap flight from Brussels Airport, several line busses are ready to whisk you away to the most beautiful spots on the island. But before you leave, you should definitely discover some of Heraklion’s own claims to fame. The port, the Venetian wall, the picturesque market, the shopping streets, the Morosini Fountain, the Agios Minas, the archaeology museum... Make sure you save some film for the rest of your trip!
