GREEK ISLANDS - GREECE - Crete Island

Crete is the largest island in Greece and its capital is Heraklion. In the heart of the city there are many monuments dating to the Middle Ages, a period in which Heraklion witnessed great prosperity like the Venetian Fortress or the Venetian-style Μorozini fountain, also known as the Lions.

Knossos, one of the most important archeological sites in Europe, the legendary centre of the Minoan civilization from 1900 to 1400 BC. The Palace of Knossos, the largest one in Minoan Crete, witnessed two architectural phases and which was devastated by the earthquake of Santorini (1450 BC).

Chania is probably the more touristic city in Crete and trolling around the Old Town’s alleys with the beautiful Venetian mansions, the fountains and the churches will guide you through well-preserved historical monuments.
