The island of Crete is vast, with unique, undiscovered niches and magical places, where one can experience “fifty centuries of change in only five minutes”as Henry Miller said. The Prefecture of Heraklion is one such place. Olive trees that “shine their silver through the centuries”, vineyards the history of which goes back to Minoan times and amazing cultural highlights, such as the ruins of Knossos, the icons of the Cretan School and the Venetian mansions. Wine Roads, gorges of wild beauty, mythical caves, modern international cultural festivals, and pilot residential complexes, above all, the local people!
