I went to Heraklion in 1998 but I didn't like this town enough to visit it during our Crete trip in 2006 & 2007. This time we had to go to Heraklion to returan our rental car and find a new car for remaining few days (we extended our stay after falling in love with Eastern Crete).
I was pleasantly surprised with how Heraklion is being renovated in recent years.

Street market is full of nice shops and cafes.
