The large harbour of Iraklion is easily seen in front of the city. It is a very
busy harbour and the cranes and ferries are apparent from a distance. The International
Airport is just east of the city and there are also large white oil tanks to
the west. The inner harbour and new marina are at the far west end. The Venetian
fort (Koules) marks its entrance.
Facilities: Iraklion is the largest city in Crete. All possible facilities
are here. There is a new marina in the inner harbour that has electricity and
water facilities on the quay. Fuel refilling may be arranged. Iraklion is a
Port of Entry. Customs and Immigration Officials as well as Harbour Police have
offices in the port. The city is within walking distance of the harbour. There
are 2 General Hospitals, in addition to private clinics, doctors, and dentists.
Pharmacies are throughout the city. The shopping and repair services are the
best on Crete. There is a ramp in the new marina.
Comments: The stern-to, bow-to and alongside mooring (in the outer harbour)
provide good shelter in all weather conditions. With the new marina facilities,
wintering here is possible. The harbour's entrance is marked at night by a green
flashing light on the outer north wall and a green one on the Koules. There
is a red flashing light on the left, opposite the Koules. Two large quays on
the south side have red lights. The harbour is very busy and care must be taken
with the constant coming and going of ferryboats. In strong northerly winds
there is a swell at the main harbour's entrance.
