Hello, i just wanted to share my life in heraklion and some photos.
I have been living in crete for the last 3 years and i can say its the best place to live in greece, at first glance heraklion looks like athens many cars, many places you don't know, but after about 2-3 months you pretty much know the whole heraklion city, so i think it's something between a city and a village. The whole island has everything you wan't to do from partying all night to the best clubs to exploring ancient greek buildings and many museums. Except for heraklion there are many other places you can visit, for people who like to party a lot i would recommend Chersonissos as the best place! For people who wan't to be quite i'd say rethymno and for people who really wan't to be alone in a very small yet famous greek village i'd say sitia is their best choice.
i will attach some photos from different places in crete so you can get a better idea. (all photos were taken by me most of the with an iPhone)
