A complete guide to Heraklion, the treasure land of Crete

My dears, today I am going to share with you the travel guide to Heraklion, the pearl of Crete, Greece. Are you ready to start this Mediterranean journey? 🏛️【Knossos Palace】: A must-see attraction! This is the center of the Minoan civilization. Walking into the ruins of the royal palace, it feels like traveling back thousands of years. You can see ancient murals and complex palace structures, which make people marvel at the glory of the Minoan civilization. The throne room and double axe hall in the palace are full of mystery🗿. 🏛️【Heraklion Archaeological Museum】: A paradise for cultural relics lovers! The museum houses a large collection of Crete artifacts, ranging from prehistoric times to the Roman era, and each exhibit tells a piece of history. The exquisite sculptures, painted pottery, etc. will definitely feast your eyes🎨. 🍽️【Food Exploration】: Don’t miss the local seafood feast! Freshly caught sea fish, shrimps and crabs are extremely delicious with simple cooking🦀. There are also Greek-style grilled meat rolls, with crispy crust wrapped with tender and juicy grilled meat and vegetables, which is super satisfying after one bite. 🌊【Walk on the Beach】: Stroll along the promenade by the sea, feel the Mediterranean breeze, and look at the sparkling sea. It is so pleasant. In the evening, the setting sun shines on the sea, and it is super beautiful to take pictures. 🛏️【Accommodation recommendation】: You can choose a hotel close to the city center, which is convenient for travel and surrounded by many restaurants and shops. At night, you can also experience the local nightlife, which is very lively. Darlings, pack your bags and come to Heraklion to experience this unique charm💖!
