Heraklion is the largest city of Crete, a beautiful Greek island of the Aegean Sea in the Mediterranean Sea. A city rich in treasures and legends, Heraklion is one of the most popular tourist destinations of the island. The taste of the Orient that you can breathe in Heraklion is continuously mixed with the spirit of classical Greece of which the city and its surroundings are imbued. The archaeological treasures allow tourists to take a dip in the past, while the colors and liveliness of the city centre refer to the vivacity of Arab and Middle Eastern locations.

The museum contains finds from excavations in the main sites of the island - Knossos, Archanes, Phaistos and Zakros - from the Neolithic, Mycenae, Greek and Rome age.
