Overview

The tour takes us back to post-medieval Heraklion during one of the longest sieges in world history. Heraklion is in devastation and the fall of the Crown city is imminent. We will try to discover the role of international diplomacy, the everyday life, the art of war and the battle between east and west in the 17th century. Υou can follow us in this labyrinth and discover all the clues. During the day we will walk up to the city’s Venetian Walls, meet people and visit the city's major monuments. We have two different versions of the programme, one more children friendly (age 10+) and one with more advanced riddles and clues for adults, so please let us know which one you prefer.
