HERAKLION PORT AUTHORITY S.A.

The original construction at this site was made by the Arabs in the 9th-10th century AD, with a larger configuration during the Venetian ages (17th century). It is one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean, with the ability to accommodate fishing, passenger ships, pleasure boats, large cruise ships and cargo ships.
