After meeting your guide at the time indicated at Hari's Creperiê, your guided walking tour of the fascinating Cretan city of Heraklion will begin. Ready to discover the remains of one of Europe's oldest civilisations?

As you stroll through the picturesque streets of Heraklion, Crete's largest city, you'll bear witness to the footprints left by the many different cultures who have populated the island over the millennia: Armenians, Greeks and Arabs amongst others!
