Qué hacer en Creta

Heraklion is the largest city on the Greek island of Crete and one of the largest in Greece. It is believed that Knossos, the island's largest Bronze Age archaeological site, had a port in this historic seaside city as far back as 2000 BC. The city was founded by the Saracenes in 824 BC and it eventually fell under rule to the Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans, and remains from the different rulings can be found around the city today. In 1931, Crete became part of Greece and Heraklion became the island's capital in 1971.
