Heraklion is the vibrant capital of Crete, combining rich history with lively coastal charm. Famous for the Palace of Knossos, ancient Minoan ruins, and its impressive Archaeological Museum, Heraklion offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into Greece’s ancient past.

Whether you’re arriving by ferry from Piraeus, Santorini, or other Aegean islands, Heraklion is the gateway to Crete’s sun-kissed beaches, mountain villages, and exceptional local cuisine.
Paros is one of the most picturesque islands in the Cyclades, renowned for its whitewashed villages, golden beaches, and relaxed island vibe. Its capital, Parikia, welcomes ferries from Athens and nearby islands, while Naoussa enchants visitors with its chic waterfront and lively nightlife. Perfect for both adventure and relaxation, Paros offers water sports in Golden Beach, cultural walks in Lefkes, and easy access to neighboring islands like Naxos and Antiparos. Paros is ideal for travelers seeking authentic Greek island life with modern comfort.
The Heraklion ferry port (known locally as Port of Heraklion) is conveniently located near the city center and Heraklion International Airport. It’s about 3 km from the airport, a 10-minute taxi ride or 20 minutes by bus. From downtown, you can walk to the port in about 15 minutes, or take a short taxi or local bus (routes 1 or 78). The port area is well-signposted and serves multiple ferry companies connecting Crete with Athens (Piraeus) and other islands such as Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes. Arrive at least one hour before departure to check in and board smoothly.
