About Heraklion

Heraklion is the largest urban centre in Crete, the capital of the region and the economic centre of the island.

The first European civilisation, the Minoan civilisation, flourished on this land 5000 years ago.

The conquering of Constantinopole by the Franks in 1204, left Crete under the sovereignty of the Venetians until 1669.

During this period, Heraklion experienced significant cultural growth and became the capital of the ''Regno di Candia''.
