Heraklion (Greek Iraklio) is the capital of Crete, on the north coast of the island. The harbour is a working ferry port with the visiting yacht moorings on the inner side of the 16th-century Venetian fortress (Koules) that guards the entrance — the fortress is now a museum. The Old Town behind the harbour holds the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, with the largest collection of Minoan artefacts in the world (including the bull-leaping fresco and the Phaistos Disc). 5 kilometres inland, the Palace of Knossos (Minoan capital, 1900 BC) sits in a large archaeological park. Offshore, Dia Island nature reserve sits 7 nautical miles north, a 30-minute sail with day-trip anchorages on the south side. Heraklion is 90 minutes from Agios Nikolaos east. Season runs April through October.
