Crete is the largest Greek island, with beautiful sand beaches and picturesque landscapes. An important tourist point is Knossos Palace located 25 minutes away from the city center.
Heraklion International Airport, or Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, is located at a distance of 5 km east from the city. It is the second busiest airport in Greece, mostly due to the fact that Crete is a major destination for tourists during summer.
