Popular Destinations Near Heraklion

  • Santorini: One of the most popular Greek holiday destinations there has ever been, and arguably the most popular Cycladic Island, Santorini floats peacefully in the Aegean Sea. Boasting a centuries-old reputation of stunning panoramic vistas, romantic sunsets, and golden beaches, it’s no surprise that great poets have raved about its beauty. Once devastated by the 16th-century volcanic eruption, its consequential rugged landscape still manages to be soaked in picturesque sublimity with its vibrantly hued cliffs, whitewashed houses, and atmospheric cobbled streets. A reigning item on several travel bucket lists, Santorini doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
