If you're the kind of traveller who loves nothing more than to get away and discover new things, Heraklion is waiting for you.

Heraklion isn't too far away from Gouves, which is located 8 miles to the east. Athens, the national capital, is to be found 200 miles to the northwest.

Pile up a hamper with quality cheese and other nibbles and have a picnic at Geoponikos Kipos. Public Gardens of Iraklion is also ideal for an alfresco lunch.

After compelling exhibits? Head straight to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Natural History Museum of Crete. Don't forget to find out about any special happenings. If you've got the time, also check out the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum and the Museum of El Greco.

Enjoy the inspiring artworks at the Heraklion Municipal Art Gallery. If you see something that really catches your eye, make sure to find out some more information about the artist.

If you want to understand the present, look to the past! To learn about the people and events that have made this region what it is today, check out the Historical Museum of Crete.

Heraklion is brimming with significant historic attractions. Why not start exploring this destination's past at Palace of Knossos and Heraklion Loggia? Why not also swing by Tylissos and Koules Fortress?

Explore the border walls and learn about the mighty history of City Walls, a fortification that was instrumental in the defence of this area.

Looking to add a spiritual element to your break? Pay a visit to St. Mark's Basilica and Agia Ekaterini Church. Monastery of St. Peter and St. Paul and Panayia Akrotiriani will also interest anyone looking for some quiet reflection.

An intriguing way to get a feel for a place is to spend some time in its busy public spaces. Hunt down a good spot and watch life unfold at Eleftherias Square and Kornarou Square. If you're really keen on getting to know Heraklion, also stop by Lions Square.

Memorials are a blend of beauty and virtue that help us to reflect upon the events of times long past. Here, Venetian Walls and Koubes stand as symbolic testaments to Heraklion's past. If you're nearby, the Bembo Fountain and Dermatas Gate are two more historical sites that are worth stopping by.

Check what's on at the Manos Hatzidakis Theatre, a well-known entertainment venue. There's nothing like heading out for dinner and then watching a show!

Even though some ebookers customers might not have heard of it, the Vikelaia Municipal Library is also well worth a look around.
