Overview
Discover Heraklion through the eyes of a local with a tour designed to reveal the city’s hidden soul. Beyond the well-known monuments, we will wander through secret alleys and places only residents truly know. We will start with the imposing Venetian Walls, walking along their paths that once protected the city and still offer a glimpse into its glorious past.
Then, we will visit the charming garden theaters, peaceful corners where nature and history meet. Our journey continues to the Tomb of Nikos Kazantzakis, perched high above the city, where breathtaking panoramic views unfold before us. We will also explore the alternative neighborhood of Lakkos, a once-forgotten area now alive with street art, small workshops, and vibrant local life. This tour is not just about sightseeing; it is about feeling the authentic spirit of Heraklion, discovering its hidden stories, and experiencing the city as only a local can.
