Heraklion, Crete is the gateway to Knossos, one of the most important Minoan palace sites. The museum here is home to the world's only comprehensive collection of Minoan artifacts. Beyond that, the town has magnificent fortified walls and several other testaments of the Venetians' time in power. Steeped in Homeric history and culture, Crete spoils visitors with its wealth of myths and legends and is blessed with dramatic landscapes. Its stunning mountain ranges are dotted with caves and sliced by dramatic gorges and its rugged interior is blanketed in olive groves, wild flowers, and aromatic herbs. Breathtaking drives along the rugged south coast lead to a sun drenched paradise of long sandy beaches and isolated coves.
