HERAKLION, CRETE, GREECE Port Reviews

Crete is a bit remote, hot and rocky, but the famous site of Knossos helps tell the story of an ancient civilization and should not be missed. Large crowds cans make the overall visit a bit more stressful. We enjoyed the Princess excursion all-day tour that provided lunch and comprehensive visiting of the island, especially with a stop in the scenic tourist town of Agios Nikolaos.

Visited archeological museum and ruins of Palace. Bought a stone Ancient Greek head from a family workshop.

I heard Crete is amazing, our port was not. Very disappointed

We had a private company provide a tour. It was very nice.

Took city bus to the archaeological site of Cnossos, then to the museum.

Took a small group tour with a FANTASTIC guide that included visit to mountain small village, eating at a local restaurant, Knossos and the Museum in Hierekylon.

We went to the temple of the Minotaur. We enjoyed ourselves.

Great museum and guide.

Having a free shuttle to old town made it very convenient. Lots of narrow winding streets with interesting shops. The Archeological Museum was really nice.

Crete was a fill in. We did a hop on hop off bus tour - saw remnants of a palace but that’s about it.
