TourHeraklion Tour with Tasting

Meet your guide at the Cretan Spiti Travel terminal, opposite the entrance to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, across the street from Hari's creperie, at 11:30 am to begin your exploration of Heraklion's historic center. Travel back in time with your expert guide and discover a city that blends the ancient and the modern — the site of Hercules' seventh labor and the birthplace of the painter El Greco and the writer Nikos Kazantzakis.

During the tour, hear fascinating stories about Heraklion's turbulent past and visit legendary churches, fountains, and monuments such as St. Minas Cathedral, Lions Square (stop to sample traditional Cretan bougatsa and raki), St. Titus Church, Heraklion Town Hall, Koules Fortress, and other Venetian buildings.

Take advantage of the opportunities to take photos and experience the local atmosphere of this vibrant city. Return to the Cretan Spiti Travel terminal at 2 PM.
