商品説明
Heraklion may not captivate you at first sight, but that's exactly why you should join our bites and sights tour. You'll bypass the capital’s concrete buildings and dive into the fascinating soul of our city.
Start your tour in the center of Heraklion with a traditional Greek coffee and “koulouri,” a delicious sesame-encrusted circular bread. Learn about local history as we kick off from Eleftherias (Freedom) Square, exploring the city's evolution from Byzantine, Arab, Venetian, and Turkish occupations, and even pirate incursions.
Next, stroll along the pedestrian street of 25 August, admiring major highlights like St. Titus Cathedral and the Morosini Fountain in the heart of the city. Venture into the hidden backstreets of Heraklion, discussing the city’s history and how it has transformed into the vibrant place it is today.
Take a step back in time with a walk atop Heraklion’s great Venetian wall fortifications, offering some of the best views of the city. See how these impressive walls, the longest in Europe, divide the old city from the new. Visit the tomb and monument of Nikos Kazantzakis, the famous Cretan author, and learn what inspired him to write "Zorba."
Our final stop exemplifies the essence of Crete: its food and wine. Discover the city's hidden gems while indulging in typical cuisine and one of Crete’s finest exports – wine. Enjoy a meze platter and sip local specialties like raki and tsikoudia, the island’s famous and potent distilled spirits. Opa!
