The Castle was constructed by the Venetians in the early 13th century, when they conquered the town. Today it is called "Koules" which means “fortress” in Turkish.

It's a good place for a nice night run or your daily jog. You can see the whole port of Heraklion and if you turn your head you can see planes landing and taking off from the airport.

It is the best place if you want a walk at night under the moonlight and near the sea. There are a lot of restaurants there if you want to enjoy fresh fish with your friends.

Perfect scenery for a lot of pictures. Pay a visit, it is absolutely free. The harbour with the small boats is usually colourfull.

Surprisingly spacious and well worth the €2 full price entrance fee. Many informative signs throughout. Beautiful views of the sea and the city

Très beau fort et une jetée qui donne envie de se promener et d'y passer de longues heures à regarder la mer et écouter le bruit des vagues pour les amoureux!
