[Aug.2009] We moved to Irakleio from Rethymno, our base in Crete.
According to my guide book, here the main thing to see was the Archaeological Museum, so we went there to find that it was under the construction of rebuilding in Aug.2009.
They had a temporary building to show a small part of their exhibits.
That was a bit of disappointment, but at least I leaned that Knossos culture valued women very highly, which was impressive.
So I bought a replica of a snake goddess.
The town of Irakleio itself was not that impressive, but the sunset at the port was brilliant.
It was moving to see whole the port turning into warm colours.
