Workation in Heraklion: the essentials
Heraklion is the largest city in the Greek islands, with about 179,000 people in the municipality, and it feels more like a regional capital than a resort. The Minoan palace of Knossos is on its southern edge and the Archaeological Museum holds the finds, while Venetian walls and the Koules fortress frame the old harbour. The University of Crete and research institutes keep it busy, and coworking is available if not plentiful. Heraklion International Airport is only about 5 km from the centre, with ferries to Piraeus from the port. Planes pass low over the eastern districts, and traffic on the main roads is heavy.
All numbers on this page apply to Heraklion, not to all of Crete.
