The picturesque harbour of Iraklion welcomes those arriving by ship at Crete’s greatest city that is also the fourth largest harbour in Greece. In common with much of the history of this city, the imposing castle located at the harbour dates back to Venetian times and was built between 1523 and 1540. Although the city has moved with the times and developed into an important centre of tourism, it has managed to retain a significant part of its history.
