Explore the narrow, cobbled streets, admiring historical buildings, local artisans’ shops, and vibrant markets selling handmade goods and traditional Cretan products. Don’t miss the Venetian Fortress Koules, an imposing structure at the harbor, or the Church of Saint Titus, a beautiful example of Byzantine architecture. As you stroll through the scenic Heraklion Harbor, enjoy the turquoise waters and lively harbor activity, perfect for a relaxing walk with the backdrop of the Venetian walls and the fortress.
