Heraklion has the Iraklion Archeological museum which houses extraordinary
specimens from Knossos, Phaestos, Gortys, and Malia.
Aghios Nikolaos:
Aghios Nikolaos, built on the ruins of the ancient city Lato pros Kamara,
has developed from a small trade center in the 3rd AD century into
a major modern cosmopolitan center. Aghios Nikolaos is known for its "bottomless" lake
located in the town centre.

inhabitants Chania is the second largest town in Crete. Much of the
city's architecture, especially areas around the harbor, are from the
Venetian and Turkish periods.

Crete, the largest
of the Greek islands and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean, has
less than half the average population density of the EU and has become
the most popular Greek island for those wishing to retire or set up
semi-permanent residence. Unlike many of the smaller islands, life
goes on after summer; and why shouldn't it when spring and autumn temperatures
in the 70s sandwich short, mild winters? Countless traditional villages
amble through life as they have done for centuries. Even the smallest
have a village square, kafenion and taverna, where you can eat and
drink the day away for not much more than a pocket of small change.
In general, the cost of living is 40% less than that of the UK and
comes with a free and limitless supply of Crete's unreserved hospitality!
The landscape is
as varied as it is beautiful; the backbone of the island is mountainous,
with snow capped peaks on view until May. There is the famous Samaria
Gorge, Europe's longest at 18 kilometres. It provides fertile areas
ablaze with colour and rugged slopes plunging 600 metres to the valley
floor.
