Capital Crete Island - the city of Heraklion gives a unique opportunity to a tourist to plunge into the center of ancient civilization, with their own eyes to see the vintage structures, which are described in the ancient Greek myths and legends, enjoy the picturesque natural surroundings, take a walk on the streets of this European city, enjoy the rest on well-equipped beaches.
Hundreds of hotels and hotels are located in Heraklion, in which you can easily find a place to spend the night. For every taste you can find and entertain yourself. I personally attracted more hiking and shopping, as well as the beaches and nightclubs, such incredibly many, stores of famous brands, however prices are not much different from prices in Russian boutiques with the same name, in nightclubs you can meet representatives of various countries, youth from all over the world. Thousands of tourists are hung through the streets of the capital, it's just an incredible flavor of nationalities!
Evening hiking occupied quite a long time, Heraklion is quite a big city, and enjoy all his streets, the embankment of the line, the atmosphere of Nirvana and Greek carelessness is impossible in a couple of days. On every corner there are shops, shops, confectionery, smell of spices and fresh baking, fish restaurants , the noise of the sea on the coast - all this is impossible to transfer the text and words, here you need to be to feel this wonderful atmosphere.
I, being at a pretty young age, is very suitable for rest in a big city, because this is a movement, eternal lively, life, a variety of places in which you want to visit. But Heraklion is paradise not only for a young tourist who does not want to spend time on the beach, Heraklion is a city for lovers of history and connoisseurs of archaeological attractions and monuments.
On the seaside, there is a massive fortress Koups, in the city center there is an archaeological museum, Venetian Fountain Barbo, the historical Museum of Crete. There is also a huge seaport that amazing with its beauty and sizes, all excursion yachts on other islands and huge international ships leave here. Not far from Heraklion is the oldest city of Knossos with his famous Knos Palace, we traveled here on the car, which was taken for hire, but tourists here go to their own move on buses.
In short, your holiday in Heraklion is doomed to a variety of travels in historical places, bathing on the troubled waves of the Mediterranean Sea, shopping and numerous walks in the city.
