Heraklion is not by chance one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. It is built in the center of Crete and is the ideal starting point to explore the whole island from north to south. A modern and colorful city, ideal for on-the-road excursions on routes with incredible changes of scenery. The Mediterranean is always in fashion and new-age travelers return nostalgically to the familiar beauty of the silver-gold olive tree and the Mediterranean blue. So why not join the olive harvest, bake some bread in the wood-fired oven, milk the goats at the mitata (shepherd shelters), learn to weave on the loom. Endless dreamlike beaches, Venetian fortifications, incredible archaeological sites, natural beauty, traditional recipes that survive to this day, they all make up a unique place to visit. In the wider area of Heraklion, you can take amazing routes that will lead you to picturesque villages. Warm and friendly people, historic monasteries, landscapes of rare natural beauty…a pure and generous land.
