The beautiful and historic Greek island of Crete is a great place to visit to learn about Greek culture and history. However, there is something for all types of tourists on Crete. Some may prefer the more populous tourist attractions, luxurious accommodations and beaches, while some may prefer the more authentic feel of the ancient Minoan ruins.

Heraklion is the largest city in Crete. Home to approximately 140,000 people, this is also the site of the ruins of Knossos. These ruins date to the Bronze Age. If you’re a history buff, you won’t want to miss this well preserved site. Be sure to swing by Venizelous Square as well. This is a very beautiful place, as is Morosini Fountain. If you’re a sports fan, be sure to take in a soccer match. Crete has two teams, the Ergotelis FC and the OFI Crete. Both teams are based out of Pankritiko Stadium.
