Heraklion, formerly known as Candia, is a historical layer cake waiting to be uncovered. Join me on this self-guided audio tour as we wander through the ages, meeting the characters and seeing some of the best known and lesser known sites.
Walk along the shore line towards the harbor fortress named Koules. Experience the lively centre of Heraklion, with all its vibrant historical aspects. See, and be able to visit, these marvelous churches and still have time to sit down for a coffee or a souvlaki, whenever you like. Wander between a Venetian fortress setting and the beautiful Agios Titus church. Stroll through the market street and learn about some local products. Explore in the vibrant centre the Lion fountain and end up at the entrance of the Archaeological museum.
