Back to newsThe German cruise line TUI Cruises is operating a transposition voyage with its "Mein Schiff" fleet across the Mediterranean, sailing from Greece toward Spain. The route includes stops along the Greek coast, potentially including Crete's main port of Heraklion. Tourists visiting Crete during summer months may notice increased cruise ship traffic in port, which can affect crowds at key archaeological sites such as Knossos and the old Venetian harbor area. Visitors planning day trips on days when large cruise ships dock are advised to arrive early at popular attractions or explore lesser-visited sites in eastern or western Crete to avoid peak congestion. Check local port authority schedules for Heraklion or Chania to plan accordingly.
