Location

Located just a five (5) minute walk from the graphic, lovely centre of Heraklion, its famous market hall, and schools.

Heraklion or Iraklion (Greek: ÇñÜêëåéïí) is the largest city and capital of Crete. It is also the fourth largest city in Greece. It is also the capital of the prefecture Heraklion, with an international airport named after the writer Nikos Kazantzakis. The ruins of the palace of Knossos, which in Minoan times was the largest centre of population on Crete, which were excavated and restored by Arthur Evans, are nearby.

The city was named Arabic rabd al-Handaq 'Castle of the Moat' in 824 AD. This was Hellenized as ×Üíäáî (Handax) or ×Üíäáêáò and Latinized as Candia, which was taken into other European languages: French Candie, English Candy, all of which could refer to all of Crete as well as to the city itself; the Ottoman form was Kandiye. Locally, it is often called ÊÜóôñï (Kástro, "castle") and its inhabitant Êáóôñéíïß (Kastrinoí, "castle dwellers").

The name ÇñÜêëåéïí was revived in the 19th century and comes from the nearby Roman port of Heracleum ("Heracles' city"), whose exact location is unknown. English usage formerly preferred the classicizing transliterations "Heraklion" or "Heraclion", but the phonetic form "Iraklion" is now more common.
