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 that became an Ottoman mosque and was rebuilt in the mid-19th century. It stands today as a tribute to the island's patron saint.

As we explore Crete's capital, you will see the influences of various civilizations, including Armenians, Greeks, and Arabs. We’ll view the Heraklion Loggia and the Orthodox Cathedral of St. Minas, one of Greece's largest churches.

The tour continues through the historic center, showcasing the facade of St. Mark's Basilica and visiting Morosini Fountain Square, where you can taste two local favorites: raki and bougatsa.

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