Heraklion – Warsaw: Bring Back More Than Just Luggage — Bring Back the Sun

In Heraklion, it feels like people live by a different calendar. You might forget what day of the week it is, but you’ll know exactly how many olives go into your salad. Here, mornings don’t need alarms, and nights are best with the window open — to fall asleep to the sound of the waves. And then comes the day when the suitcase is packed — not just with clothes, but with a bit of Greek lightness, a handful of warm sand, and a version of yourself that’s a little more carefree.

The Heraklion – Warsaw flight isn’t just the way back. It’s a way to stretch the adventure just a little longer. SkyUp™ makes sure the return doesn’t feel like an end, but a soft continuation — with comfort, ease, and care. You don’t lose your rhythm — you simply take Heraklion with you. Sometimes, the best souvenir is a feeling.
 

What to Bring Home From Crete?

• Retsina — a local wine made from white grapes grown only on the island, with a summery, herbal aroma.
• Thyme, oregano, and mint — dried herbs wrapped in paper from the local market.
• Soap made from olive oil and lavender — a little thing that brings relaxing moments and foamy baths.
• Hand-painted clay dishes — for tea that tastes a bit like Greece.
• Cretan handmade jewelry — with stones, seashells, or knots for good luck.
• Creams or balms with wild rose oil — they have an incredible scent and light texture.
   

A Surprising Fact About Warsaw

Warsaw is a city that was rebuilt from ruins, and not only in terms of architecture. Warsaw was indeed almost completely destroyed during the Second World War: over 90% of the Old Town was ruined, and only 6 of 260 townhouses survived. The Old Town was rebuilt based on historical sources, including eighteenth-century paintings by Bernardo Bellotto (Canaletto), as well as archival plans and photographs.

Free drinking water stations have been introduced across Warsaw, especially at airports (for example, Chopin Airport has offered them since 2017). This allows passengers to fill their bottles after passing through security.
