The Lions in Heraklion is the square of the Fontana Morosini, the ornate Venetian fountain with four lions with water gushing from their mouths. The Fontana Morosini is in Eleftheriou Venizelou Square in the centre of Heraklion, but the inhabitants of the city never use the official name, usually referring to it as the Lions Square or the Lions for short. The fountain with the lions is one of the most important monuments the Venetians bestowed on Heraklion. When it was built, it offered a solution to the problem of supplying Heraklion with water, providing 1,000 barrels of water a day. Historical sources tell us that during the period of Arab rule (9th-10th century AD), the square was the largest slave market in the Eastern Mediterranean. During the Byzantine period (10th-13th century), the Lions Square was the site of the residence of the Byzantine governor of Heraklion. In Venetian times (13th-17th century), this was where the Palace of the Venetian Duke of Crete (the Palazzo Ducale) stood, where the Duke and his two councillors (Consiglieri) decided the fate of Heraklion and its people. The Ducal Palace was a two-storey building with verandas and vaulted areas on the ground floor which were rented out as shops. It was on the north side of the Lions Square, where the souvlaki shops are today, taking up a whole block. It's s one of the busiest parts of Heraklion. It is never quiet, unfolding its various aspects 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This is where travellers who arrive in Heraklion by ferry at dawn come for a bougatsa cream pie, while they wait for the city to wake up. Later, through the course of the day thousands of locals and tourists will cross the square, stare at the fountain, check out the shops, sit at a café, eat something quick, or visit an exhibition in the Basilica of St Mark. For locals it's the most famous meeting point!

The Venetians used to build a luxurious building in each of their cities, where the nobles could pleasantly spend their time and socialize. In Candia, they built the Loggia (meaning Noble Club) which is now met on the August 25 Street. The Loggia we see today is the fourth, in a series, phase of the building and is considered one of the finest monuments left by the Venetians in Crete. It was built in 1628 under the general captain Francesco Morosini, who is aso known for the beautiful fountain of the Lions a bit meters further. Today it houses the municipal services of Heraklion.

The municipal Art gallery of Heraklion is hosted in one of the most historical buildings of the city. It is the Saint Marcos Basilica that was initially built in 1239 a.c. from the Venetians. Later on, it was re-builded right after a big earthquake that took place in 1303. The Turks modified it into a Muslim temple in 1669 till 1956 when the Company of Cretan and Historical Studies change it into its initial shape. In the museum are accommodated occasionally, various events and exhibitions but in permanent base (at least at the moment), are exposed works of Thomas Fanourakis, Georgios Georgiadis, Lefteris Kanakakis, and Aristodimos Papadakis.

Probably the oldest church in Heraklion. The initial building was erected in the 10th century after the reconquest of Crete by the Byzantine general Nikiforos Fokas in 961 AD. It was a three-aisled Basilica measuring over 170 meters in length, being one of the longest Basilicas in Greece. The church was destroyed twice by earthquake and once by fire -in the 14th and 15th century-. It was rebuilt without any architectural changes and lived on as the main Catholic Church in Handax (modern Heraklion). Prominent locals were buried in the churchyard in the Byzantine, Venetian and Turkish period. As soon as the town fell to the Turks Agios Titos church was converted into a mosque, Vezir mosque (after Ali Kioprouli Vezir, who was the conqueror of Handax. After the last destruction, by the 1856 earthquake, the church was rebuilt from scratch by the architect K. Mousi, as it stands today. It was concluded in 1872 and it is a building of neoclassical nature with intense eclecticism and many oriental features as it was initially intended to be a mosque. Titus was St. Paul’s disciple, the first bishop on Crete and guardian of the island. Titus’ skull was given back by the Venetians and is kept in a small chapel to the north of the nave kept in a mitre.

Within short distance from Olive Grove, In the area of Agia Irini at Spilia there is the largest of the aqueduct bridges built in Crete in order to solve the water shortage problem of the Grand Castle (today's Heraklion). Through this water bridge built during the Egyptian occupation (1830-40) the water was transferred from the Fountana spring in Kounavi and from the Miliaras spring in Skalani, to the center of Heraklion, after it had been merged with the water coming through the Venetian aqueduct of Morozini. The reason for the construction was the identification by the Egyptians of the ancient Roman aqueduct of Knossos, with an underground tunnel 1150m long, which was cleaned, opened and restored. The east entrance of the tunnel survives in excellent condition, while the west is blocked by soil. An incredible picturesque location worth visiting!

Accept treat from locals!

Crete is famous for its hospitality! It is common when locals meet a visitor from abroad(especially in more traditional cretan villages) to treat him Raki (Cretan alcoholic drink) even if you don't drink just say "geia mas"(cheers) and have a sip!

Ask locals where to eat

Try to avoid restaurants famous to tourists as they tend to be low quality and very expensive. Also be careful when taking a taxi!
