Heraklion
Base your Greek island-hopping and wider Aegean journey in Heraklion, the gateway to Crete.
Quick facts
Heraklion, the main city of the Greek island of Crete, sits at the crossroads of Aegean island journeys and broader Eastern Mediterranean itineraries. Tratoli offers 30 multi-day packages that weave Heraklion into wider Greece, Crete, and Greco-Turkish routes, from a 9-day Aegean tour to 16- and 17-day grand circuits. These are guided end-to-end trips rather than standalone day activities, built for travellers who want the region covered in one booking.
