Heraklion · Greece · View on map
The port of Heraklion, Crete's largest city, with the ruins of the Minoan Palace of Knossos in the southern suburbs, making it a gateway to exploring the island. Fortifications and city walls remain around the port, while the airport is only about 5 km east of the city center. From Japan, it can be reached with one connection in Munich, Frankfurt, Istanbul, or other cities, not only via Athens.
