Heraklion Town Crete

Heraklion Town

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Heraklion town as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Heraklion boasts the title of the largest urban entity in Crete and is also the administrative capital of the island. Heraklion has an immense historical and cultural heritage, as in close proximity to the city visitors can find the Palace of Knossos, which has served as the centre of Minoan civilisation. Throughout the city, you can also find a number of constructions dating back to the Venetian occupation such as Koules Fortress in the old port.

Heraklion is home to some world class monuments and cultural landmarks. Among the most outstanding man-made structures is the Heraklion Fortress that contains the 'old town'. Originally built by Arab merchants and later on reinforced by Venetians, the Fortress included seven bastions, of which only the Martinego bastion survives the passing of time. Moreover, visitors will be delighted to find one of the gates to the city, named Chanioporta, which is ornate with the winged lion of Saint Marc. Visitors can also pay pilgrimage to the grave of one of Greece's most important writers and Nobel recipient, N. Kazantzakis. The sight that marks his resting place also offers some mesmerising views of the city.

Throughout the city, one can spot statues and monuments commemorating prolific figures that have been important for Greece's course through history and have contributed to Crete's immense cultural heritage. Some of the names include renaissance painter El Greco, Poet Vicenzo Kornaros and Politician Eleftherios Venizelos.

Moreover, the Archaeological museum should be on the top of every visitor's list; a splendid space that boasts a massive collection of ancient artefacts from all over the island and covers more than 5,500 years of history. Special emphasis is given to the spoils of Minoan civilisation, which has been one of the first to spring in the Southern European cost and was almost entirely wiped out by a volcanic eruption and a subsequent tsunami. The museum is home to the most important collection of surviving Minoan antiquities in the world and awaits its visitors to explore the mysteries of this extinguished civilisation.

Nowadays, Heraklion represents a beacon of Greek modernization and has been subjected to an extensive urban sprawl, that gives it a truly unique character. Despite the expansion of concrete residential blocs and the immense traffic, a short walk through the bustling streets and alleys will travel you through thousand years of history and will reveal to you the hip side of Greece with its rich coffee culture and culinary delights that can be found in every corner.

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Koutsouras as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Koutsouras is a picturesque village in Lasithi regional unit, 22 kilometres east of Ierapetra at the road heading for Makri Gialos. This small village was established in the 19th century by sheep farmers who lived in a mountain village named Stavrohori.

Koutsouras economy is not based on tourism. The locals live mostly from agriculture. That means that you will find a few small hotels and a couple of taverns. This is a true Cretan village and the locals will call you by your first name. In the area, there are many small pebble beaches. The main beach is located west of the village, in front of an old settlement, is well organized and full of tamarisk trees which will provide you with their shadow during summertime. In general, Koutsouras always has a few tourists, but if you want an even more isolated beach, a good solution is a small beach with pebbles next to the harbour of the village, about 2km on the west. 1km east of Koutsouras there is a small beach named Koutsourelis, with nice sand, making it ideal for families with children.

Over Koutsouras is located the traditional settlement of Tsikalaria with the pirate path passing through, a historic remnant of the Byzantine years which they say was used by locals to find shelter when pirates were attacking.
