Heraklion
The capital of Crete is Heraklion, which is also the center of the island. Today, it houses not only the city's most famous monuments: the Morosini (Lions) Fountain, the Venetian Lodge, St. Mark's Basilica and the Church of St. Titus, but also lively cafes and bars, as well as many branded shops for good shopping. Take a walk to see the walls of the UNESCO-listed Venetian fortress, and visit the Venetian port of Heraklion with the Koules fortress, located next to the modern port. And this is just the main part of this historic city.
