Crete (Heraklion), Greece

To see discounted cruises that visit or depart from this port, use the Find a Bargain box on the left.

A string of high mountains divides this Greek isle into four regions, each with its own distinct landscape. Half-day excursions visit two main attractions -- the restored 4,000-year-old Minoan palace of Knossos and the unparalleled archaeological museum in Heraklion. Tourists venturing out on their own may want to visit the colorful fruit and vegetable market or drive to a quaint fishing village.
