Heraklion, Iraklio, is a port city and the capital of the Greek island of Crete, Greece. It’s known for the Palace of Knossos, just outside the city. The huge archaeological site dates back thousands of years to the Minoan civilization, and includes frescoes and baths. Guarding the city’s Venetian port is the 16th-century Koules fortress. Athens to Heraklion Archaeological Museum has a large collection of Minoan art. The city has many Venetian and Turkish fountains, including the 17th-century Morosini Fountain, surrounded by sculpted lions. The nearby Venetian Loggia, dating from the 17th century, is an ornate, 2-level arcaded building. The huge Agios Minas Cathedral was built in the late 19th century and has 2 bell towers. Much of the old city walls are still intact, including the Martinengo Bastion, just south of the center. The bastion is also the burial site of acclaimed 20th-century writer Nikos Kazantzakis. East of the city, Crete Aquarium houses Mediterranean Sea creatures such as stingrays, sea turtles and sand tiger sharks.
Athens is the capital of Greece. It was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire. The city is still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient buildings like the colonnaded Parthenon temple. The Acropolis Museum, along with the National Archaeological Museum, preserves sculptures, vases, jewelry and more from Ancient Greece. Athens is also a contemporary city, and it’s not uncommon for the nightlife hubs of Kolonaki, Psiri and Gazi to stay busy until dawn. Some areas of the city are pedestrian-only, such as the winding lanes of the Plaka neighborhood, lined with cafes, traditional tavernas and neoclassical houses. Near Syntagma Square, whose Old Royal Palace houses Greece's parliament, is the Ermou shopping boulevard. Here, fashion boutiques mix with stores selling silver and handmade art. The Grand Promenade walkway, created for the 2004 Olympics, circles the Acropolis, passing fabled remains such as the crumbling Ancient Agora of Athens complex.
