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.

Zakros Kato Zakros Crete

Zakros (Kato Zakros)

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Zakros as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Zakros or Kato Zakros is a traditional fishing village located 107km east of Agios Nikolaos and 40km east of Sitia. Here you will find a picturesque scenery, friendly locals and you will taste the true Cretan life.

Zakros will provide you with all the basic amenities for tourists, but don’t look for luxury and big resorts. The locals are mainly concerned with the production of some of the best olive oil in the world. The village, in general, is underdeveloped, but you will find some rooms to let traditional taverns and shops. The beautiful beach on the edge of the settlement is formed within a large protected bay. It is mainly pebbly with some rocks in places and has ideally tranquil waters. It remains peaceful, even in August and the rocky seabed is ideal for fishing. The setting of Kato Zakros is simply amazing. You will never feel overcrowded here and you can enjoy the unspoiled landscape. Most of the visitors here they come to see the ancient palace of the Minoan times.

The Palace of Zakros is one of the latest vestiges of the Minoan civilization that was excavated in our time. Zakros Palace is the last of the Minoan Palaces that has come into light as a whole. Of the four Minoan palaces to be discovered by archaeologists, the others being Malia, Phaistos and Knossos, the palace of Zakros is the smallest. The palace itself covered an extension of 4,500 square meters and crowned a flourishing urban centre with an area of over 8,000 square metres as a whole. However, Zakros Palace is only a fifth of the size of Knossos, the latter being the largest of the Minoan palaces in Crete and the centre of the Minoan civilization in general. Much of what is known about Zakros Palace is due to Platon’s work. The excavations at Kato Zakros continue until today.

Kato Zakros is maybe the most unspoiled, non-touristic destination in Crete. If you are looking for a traditional Cretan village, then this is your place. Here you will feel like a true Cretan.
