A Day Dedicated to Art in Heraklion!
If you're an art lover, you’ll fall in love with Heraklion!
Right in the heart of the city, you’ll find the Basilica of Saint Mark and the Museum of Christian Art at Agia Aikaterini.
After admiring their rich exhibits, what could be better than a meal at Kafenes tou Kayambi?
Lions Square is always buzzing with life!
From here, you can start a beautiful exploration of Heraklion's vibrant center.
First stop: the Basilica of Saint Mark, which now houses the Heraklion Municipal Art Gallery.
The gallery hosts important exhibitions, and the building itself is a historical gem.
Next, head uphill to Agia Aikaterini, located right beside the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Minas.
This former church has been transformed into a museum, displaying significant works of Christian art.
Feeling tired? We’ve saved the best for last! At Kafenes tou Kayambi, a cozy spot with an old-world charm, you can indulge in authentic Cretan cuisine.
Don’t miss the roasted potatoes (ofti patata) and apaki—you won’t regret!
