Join us in exploring the historical city of Heraklion, an open-air museum, where the history comes alive around every corner!
Heraklion, a city steeped in history and heritage, traces its origins back to the Minoan Era (3000 years ago), upon the very hill, where the Archaeological Museum is located today. Over the centuries, Heraklion has been conquered by many cultures and civilizations: the Roman Empire for five centuries, the Christian/Byzantine Empire for seven centuries, the Arabs for approximately 150 years, the Venetians for four and a half centuries, and the Ottomans for 250 years.
Today, Heraklion stands as a testament to resilience, with its countless monuments and historical landmarks standing proudly against the sands of time.
