A trip to Crete wouldn't be complete without a wander around the capital, Heraklion also known as Iraklion. At the harbor is the Venetian fortress, we took a stroll to see it up close. The capital is home to some good shopping, art and history museums and some interesting architecture. We spent an afternoon browsing in the shops and the market as well as taking in the scenery.
We were told that most of the shops take a siesta in the afternoon, but we found that a great deal of shops stay open which was a good job because we needed an additional memory card for our camera. We managed to buy a few trinkets and gifts while we were in the capital.
