    You might want to visit Minoan ruins. The most famous site is Knossos, although I don't know exactly where on the island it is.

    In the old times, even kissing a girl in Crete would usually bring her family out of your door..they would ask you if you prefer funeral flowers or wedding flowers

    Also, vendetta is still practiced in the mountainous areas.

    ...dun let these things scare you.



    Crete is a wonderful place and the people are very kind and very very proud.


    I suggest you visit the city of Chania which is located about an hour away from Herakleion. Chania has kept most of its old architectural charm and you can practically go back in time walking some of its streets. Chania has the most beautifull harbour in Greece ( or so I think ).


    If you are into Literature go and visit the Kazantzakis museum. Kazantzakis, if you havent heard of him, was one of the most influential writers of this century. His most famous work is of course Zorba the Greek, but his most influential book is the Last Temptation of Christ ( which gave him a vatican ban and an orthodox church excommunication...). He is the 'I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free' guy
