Sitia is a port town in the far east of Crete, in
the prefecture of Lasithi. So far it has been
spared the blessings of mass tourism; even though
there is a long and beautiful beach along the road
leading to the palm beach of Vai and several
places of historical interest, the town is visited
by few tourists and has largely kept its genuine
Mediterranean flair. Tags :SitiaLasithiCreteTravelVacationDestination
Heraklion (Greek Ηράκλειο), also Heraklio
is a prefecture of Greece, one of the four
prefectures of Crete. The capital is the city of
Heraklion.
Heraklion is the capital of Heraklion Prefecture.
It has an international airport named after the
writer Nikos Kazantzakis. The ruins of Knossos,
which were excavated and restored by Arthur Evans,
are nearby.
The palace of Knossos, in Minoan times was the
biggest centre of population on Crete. So it is
very likely that there was a port here as long ago
as 2000 BC. Tags :HeraklionHeraklioIraklioCreteGreeceKazantzakisElGrecoKnossosPhaistosKasteliMatalaChersonisosMinoan
