The Port of Heraklion is conveniently located in the heart of the East Mediterranean. It is at the crossroads of historic sea routes that once served as conveyors of trade, knowledge and culture linking some the world's earliest sophisticated civilizations. Minoan, Phoenician, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and later, Venetian, Genoese and Ottoman ships plied these waters through the millennia and called at the same destinations that now attract millions of tourists and cruise passengers.
