A Seaside Escape to Karteros and Heraklion!
This getaway is perfect for the summer months—unless, of course, you’re part of the exclusive club of winter swimmers!
Start your day with a refreshing dip at Karteros Beach, then head west towards Heraklion, the largest city in Crete.
And don’t forget to stop at Burger Lab for a mouth-watering meal before taking an afternoon stroll around Heraklion’s historic harbor!
First stop: Karteros!
Just a breath away from Heraklion, Karteros Beach is ideal for those who prefer not to stray too far from the city center.
It’s also a hotspot for water sports enthusiasts, especially windsurfers!
Whether you’re looking to relax or get active in the waves, Karteros is the perfect spot to kick off your day.
Next stop: Heraklion!
A quick 10-minute drive along the scenic old National Road will bring you to Heraklion.
Enjoy the sea views as you drive, and once you find parking, head straight for the Venetian harbor, where the imposing Koules Fortress stands guard.
If you love strolling alongside fishing boats, you’ve found the perfect place for a leisurely afternoon.
To round off your day with a flavorful punch, visit Burger Lab. Their menu will leave you spoilt for choice, but if you’re looking for a recommendation, try the Black Truffle Burger.
This masterpiece features a house-made brioche bun, 100% beef patty, black truffle mushroom, smoked Metsovone cheese, fried egg, and truffle mayo—a burger that’s sure to blow you away!
