Heraklion is the capital and largest city of Crete, Greece, situated on the northern coast of the island facing the Sea of Crete. It serves as the administrative, cultural, and commercial hub of the island and is the primary gateway for international visitors arriving by air or sea. The city's significance as a Minoan, Byzantine, Arab, Venetian, and Ottoman center gives it one of the densest historical profiles of any Mediterranean city of its size.
