The prefecture of Heraklion contains some of the most important archaeological sites on the island of Crete. The Minoan palaces of Knossos, Malia and Phaestos, as well as Gortys, the Roman capital of the Island are a clear reminder of the importance of the fertile Messara valley even today. The most touristy parts of the island, such as Hersonissos, Malia and the rest of the northern coast are also found in the Heraklion prefecture. However, there are still villages that have retained some or all of their traditional atmosphere, such as Archanes and Ano Viannos.
Heraklion, the capital of Crete, is today a modern, particularly lively town which offers every kind of experience and form of recreation both in summer and winter, with much to do and many things worth seeing. It is a favorite choice amongst those seeking a dynamic restaurant, café scene and vibrant nightlife. Well-preserved Neo-Classic residences can be found hidden throughout the city, and there are several spots of beauty such as the old fortification walls, Venetian harbour, fortress and arsenal.
