Heraklion is the capital of Crete and the largest city on the island. From the ancient Minoan civilization to Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman influences, every corner of the city has historical significance. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Historical Museum of Crete are worth visiting for someone staying in Heraklion for a few days.

The Cultural Conference Center of Heraklion is 5 minutes walking from significant historical sites, such as the remnants of the Venetian Walls and the burial site of Nikos Kazantzakis.

The iconic Knossos Palace, just a short drive from the city center, is a testament to the island’s ancient roots and is often called Europe’s oldest city and the place our modern European civilization was born.
