| Iraklion is Crete’s capital and the fifth largest city in Greece, and as such, it is a fast-paced urban sprawl. Being the primary port and having the biggest bus station on Crete it is an ideal base from which to explore the island, and a nightlife that gets the wine flowing and the blood pumping makes it a pleasure to stay. |
