The museum brings together archaeological finds from all over Crete, covering over 5500 years of the island''s history.

Aposelemis dam was a technical project that was finally completed in 2012. At the bottom of the dam there is the small village of Sfentyli, the few inhabitants of which were removed.
The waters of Lake Lagkada, as the wider region is called, come mainly from the Lassithi Plateau. The lake has become an important wetland in a few years.

The Venetian fortress of Koules dominates the entrance to the Venetian harbour of Heraklion. The Venetians called it the “Sea Fortress” (Castello a Mare or Rocca a Mare), but today it is known by its Turkish name, Koules, a corruption of Su Kulesi (Water Tower). It is one of the most familiar and beloved monuments of the city, and the symbol of Heraklion.
Today the fortress of Koules gazes proudly out across the Sea of Crete, reminding us of the glory of Venetian Chandax. It is haunted by legends that Cretan rebels were horribly tortured in its damp, dark rooms.
