Overview

This free tour of Heraklion is the perfect way to discover the history and essence of the capital of Crete through a pleasant walk through its old town. Throughout the tour you will learn how a modern-looking city hides centuries of history ranging from the Minoan civilization to the Venetian and Ottoman times. The tour usually starts at the iconic Morosini Fountain, in the lively Piazza dei Leoni, and continues through some of the most representative places of the city, such as the Venetian Loggia, the Cathedral of San Minas and the imposing Venetian walls. During the walk, the guide will tell you stories, curiosities and anecdotes about local life, the ancient rulers and the strategic importance of Heraklion in the Mediterranean. You will also visit areas near the Venetian harbor and the fortress of Koules, overlooking the sea. It is an ideal tour to get your bearings, understand the millenary past of the area and decide which places to visit next, all guided by a local guide and with the close and flexible atmosphere of a free tour.
