As we all know, Greek civilization is the origin of European civilization, and even affects the progress and development of civilization around the world. Where did Greek civilization originate? That is Crete, go to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum to explore the bottom line.

Venice Square in Heraklion (Plateia Venizelou) is one of the main squares in Heraklion. The museum still has a look. After all, this is the birthplace of Greek mythology. It is a small seaside square with a metal dolphin sign, and the commercial area is nearby. The museum here is worth seeing, because it is the birthplace of Greek mythology. Just opposite the lighthouse, Hania's famous attractions are in this area. There is a beach when you walk to the lighthouse. There are fewer people and it is suitable for serious appreciation.

It is very shocking here, there are three floors! The first floor is about the buildings, the unearthed cultural relics, the second floor is about civilization, money and development history, and the third floor is about the liberation period! Really good!

海布里岁月
Xiongshi Square is very lively, a bit like Beijing's Houhai, there are many bars and restaurants, of course, there are no less love lively Greeks who are proficient in string performances, dark skin, friendly smiles, lazy and unrestrained Greek songs, accompanied by this atmosphere, Sitting in a daze with fat pigeons by the fountain feels great. There are also several old domed churches in the style of Orthodox architecture nearby, which is also worth seeing.

The size of this aquarium in Greece is still OK, not as small as expected. After all, Greece is not mainly to play in the aquarium. If you don't have much time, you can't come here.
