Visitor information

People also ask

Is Koules Fortress worth visiting?

A visit to the Koules Fortress will give you the chance to learn about the fascinating historic events linked to the Cretan War (1645-1669), about the siege of the Big Castle and the history of the fortress, and see the items found in shipwrecks exhibited in its chambers.

Is Heraklion walkable from cruise port?

Can you walk from Heraklion cruise port to the city centre? From the Venetian harbour, yes - about 15 minutes on foot. From the newer port, it's about 25-30 minutes, and the road isn't especially scenic. Most passengers use the shuttle bus, local buses, or taxis from the newer port.

Is Heraklion Old Town worth visiting?

The old town of Heraklion is particularly worth seeing. As a day visitor, you don't have to leave the historic centre, which is surrounded on three sides by the medieval wall and on the fourth side by the sea, so you can easily explore everything worth seeing and experiencing on foot.
