Heraklion, also known as Iraklion, is pretty much contained within it's Venetian city wall. The port area is lined with cafes, tavernas and bars, giving way to a good range of shops and squares as you proceed inland. Platia Venizelou (Fountain Square) is a particularly good place to people watch from one of the numerous pretty cafes, while the market, just off Odhos-1821, is highly recommended for the colour, bustle and vast range of goods on offer.
Heraklion Airport is right on the coast, some 4km to the east of the town. Bus Number 1, a taxi or hire car will take you into town.
