How many days in Heraklion?

One day covers the essentials that lie close together.

Ανάκτορο της Κνωσού · Ανεμόσπηλια

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Ιερός Ναός του Αγίου Τίτου · Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.

Ενετικά Τείχη · Άγιος Μηνάς · Ιστορικό Μουσείο Κρήτης · Μουσείο Φυσικής Ιστορίας Κρήτης

An account lets you save the plan, change it and tick things off as you go.

We measured walking times to the main sights from different parts of the city. From the area below you reach them in 35 min on average, 129 min at the furthest, and 5 of them are within walking distance.

• Ιερός Ναός του Αγίου Τίτου (260 m)
• Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο (307 m)
• Ιστορικό Μουσείο Κρήτης (507 m)

For comparison: from the worst-placed area it is 113 min on average to the same places.
