Really enjoyed Heraklion - huge quantity of restaurants, coffee bars etc. Very few people trying to beg for money. Lots of stray dogs and cats which the lovely people of Heraklion leave food and water for and they mostly looked very healthy.

Much better than what I expected. Lively streets in the evening and good dining options. Beautiful buildings in the centre and forteress.

Our ferry arrived late into Heraklion. I wouldn’t stay in Heraklion for an extended period, but the Knossos Palace was very interesting and it was a good first night in Crete.

4/5 - Good

nice city, lots of history, plenty of places to go out drink/eat, but not the best looking of towns that Crete has to offer
