Back to newsThe Heraklion Philharmonic Orchestra has been recognized as the best orchestra in Greece. Based in Heraklion, the capital city of Crete, the ensemble has earned top distinction among orchestras across the country, putting the island's cultural scene in the national spotlight. For visitors to Crete, this is a reason to look out for live performances during your stay. Heraklion regularly hosts classical concerts at venues including the Nikos Kazantzakis Municipal Garden Theatre and the Heraklion Arts Centre.
