Iraklion (also transliterated as Heraklion or Herakleion) 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.

Currently the population of the municipality of Heraklion is approximately 150.000 people.

It is a very dynamic and cosmopolitan town, particularly during the summer period when thousands of visitors can be seen shopping in the market or visiting the museums and other places of interest.

During the last 20 years the city has made also a remarkable progress in the academic and technological fields.

Heraklion lies along the North coast of the island, having to the west at about 80 km the town of Rethymnon and at 135 km the city of Hania. To the east is the town of Agios Nikolaos (60km) and the town of Sitia (130km).

Heraklions long history and cosmopolitan character is reflected to its rich cultural life throughout the year.

A wealth of cultural events from music dance recitals to theatrical performances, to lectures, to art exhibitions and much more are hosted in the many private or public places that the city offers.

The major cultural event in Heraklion is the summer cultural festival, organised by the municipality. It is a three-month extravaganza of music, theatre and dance, both of Greek and foreign performers. Most concerts take place outdoors at several outdoor theatres which have been created out of the bastions of the Venetian walls, adding to the scenery of every performance.

The Heraklions carnival celebration and parade, the municipal cinema and the Mediterranean Festival of Arts (25 September-05 October) are organised also by the municipality of Heraklion.

To the left "Averof Str." leads to "Eleftherias sq." , Heraklions main square where the Archaeological museum stands and to the right Kyrillou Loukareos Str" leads to Agios Minas cathedral and Agia Aikaterini Museum.

All around the old part of the city, a visitor can walk following the Venetian walls that meet at the old port and "Koules", the fortress that dominates the old harbour of the city.

The visitor to Heraklion should definitely visit the archaeological site at Knossos and the Archaelogical Museum of Heraklion that houses most of the Minoan findings in Crete. Special attention should also be paid to the Historical museum of Heraklion that houses findings from the early Christian era to today and the Museum of Natural History.
