Tour Details

At the appointed time, we’ll meet in front of Hari's Creperiê to begin our private tour of Heraklion. Our first stop will be the Church of St. Titus, originally a Byzantine church, later converted into an Ottoman mosque and rebuilt in the mid-19th century. Today, it serves as a tribute to the island's patron saint.

As we walk through Crete's capital, you’ll see influences from various civilizations, including Armenians, Greeks, and Arabs. We’ll pass by the Heraklion Loggia and admire the Orthodox Cathedral of St. Minas, one of Greece's largest churches.

The tour continues through the historic center, where we’ll view the facade of St. Mark's Basilica and stop at Morosini Fountain Square. Here, you’ll have an opportunity to taste two local favorites: raki and bougatsa.

Before concluding, we’ll visit Heraklion’s Central Market to browse traditional craft stalls and experience its lively atmosphere. Finally, we’ll return to the starting point, concluding the tour after 2.5 hours.
