Heraklion is the central city as well as the capital city of Crete, a small island in Greece.

The Venetian Port is guarded by the Koules fortress, majestic grandeur of the sixteenth-century architecture.
Heraklion famously features stunning Venetian and Turkish fountains that form some tourist attraction sites in the city. One such is the Morosini Fountain, which was made in the seventeenth century, complete with a ring of lion sculptures around it.
