City guide
Visiting Heraklion in October
October delivers wonderful autumn weather around 23 degrees, perfect for lingering on sunny beaches and attending traditional raki-distilling gatherings.
Heraklion (Iraklio) is the bustling capital and maritime gateway of Crete, situated on the island's northern Aegean coastline. Steeped in antiquity, it was the focal point of the Minoan civilization, Europe's earliest sophisticated Bronze Age society, and later flourished as a formidable Venetian and Ottoman maritime stronghold.
- From the airport
- Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) is situated just four kilometers east of the city. Local municipal buses (routes 1, 6, and 11) run every 10 to 15 minutes from outside arrivals to central Eleftherias Square in 15 to 20 minutes. Official taxis to downtown cost approximately 12 to 16 euros.
- Getting around
- The historic city center within the ancient Venetian walls is mostly pedestrianized and easy to navigate on foot. For visiting the Minoan Palace of Knossos, public bus line 2 runs frequently from the port and central bus station. Regional KTEL coaches connect Heraklion with towns like Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos.
