Tourists in Heraklion
... disappointed if there was nothing to see!!! Heraklion is good fun for a day but I wouldn't spend more than a day. You can cover most of it by walking around it. If the museum was open I guess you could spend all day in there! My mum would have definitely done ...
Rethymnon & Phaestos
... Mum has been looking forward to this moment since the day I told her we were taking her to Crete. And in fact it was an amazing site to see, filled with history and mystery all around.
