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.

Chora Sfakion Crete

Sfakia (Hora Sfakion)

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Sfakia as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Sfakia is the southernmost point of Europe. Sfakia lies in the heart of south-west Crete among a wild and pristine mountainous landscape. It is foreshadowed by the majestic White Mountains 'Lefka Ori' mountain range and stands on the verge of spectacular gorges on the north and embraced by the warm Libyan sea on the south side. In Sfakia you will find the scenic settlements of Hora and Loutro, which will make a summer destination similar to no other. There you can indulge in life's simple pleasures such as swimming in crystal clear waters, go hiking or delve into the delicious local cuisine.

Anopoli is a majestic place that will enchant travellers. Foreshadowed by wild mountains, visitors can discover the picturesque Aradena Bridge and the village of Frangokastello bewildered by legends of warrior ghosts named the Drosoulites. The area is extremely remote hidden amid steep cliffs and isolated by the Libyan Sea, Sfakia makes an excellent off the beaten track destination for adventurous backpackers. One can expect to find the quintessential islander Greek villages, ornate with white houses and blue shutters, namely Frangokastello, Phoenix, Lykos and Agia Roumeli. The villages also serve as the base for treks in the surrounding mountains. Mountaineers can follow the 'Kalderimi' which are paths carved by shepherds and lead to some beautiful gorges. The most majestic of the gorges is Samaria which ends at the beach in Agia Roumeli and offers visitors a seven-hour trek through the wilderness.

Around all year numerous celebrations happen and with some good timing, travellers can find themselves entangled in commemorations of historical battles, business opening parties, christenings or big fat Greek weddings with more than 1,000 guests. Local food and drinks are abundant and most feasts are accompanied by bands playing traditional folk music. The songs are called 'Madinades' and are accompanied by lyra, fully embracing the power and wistfulness of the Cretan spirit.

Sfakia is an excellent spot to buy local produce such as high-quality olive oil, thyme, honey, fresh herbs and spices. Several of the villages are also fortified, a legacy left from the times of Venetian occupation and Ottoman Empire. The most impressive fortress lies at Frangkokastello village just above a sandy beach and dates back to the 14th century. The village maintains a very authentic character and most shops, hotels and restaurants are family-run. One can sample some excellent local cuisine, freshly prepared with mouth-watering local ingredients.

The Sfakians are famous for their hospitality and generosity towards guests, resulting in a shift from traditional labour towards tourism. This part of the island will definitely make you feel like a true Cretan.
