Heraklion Port
2.7 (29 reviews)
Heraklion Port doubles as both a major cruise hub and a working yacht marina, managed in partnership with the Heraklion Yacht Club, with berths for yachts up to 13m. You're dropping anchor in the heart of Crete's busiest city, putting you steps from the Venetian fortress of Koules, the old market streets, and some of the best Cretan food you'll find anywhere. It's gritty, lively, and authentically urban — nothing polished or resort-like about it, which is exactly the appeal.
