Cretan Guide
How to spend your days in Heraklion
You have a semester to spend in Heraklion, the main city and key business centre of Crete. The city is also a major cruise destination. Beyond the crazed progress of moped riders, noisy scooters and a battered, out-of-control look to the city, there is much to do and plenty of things worth seeing. Apart from shopping and the designer clothes on Daedalou Street ("DaydAloo"), there are many small shops off all the main streets which sell those local products which normally are used when you live in Crete. Just have a look along 1866 Street and more so its side streets - you may find a curio distinctly different from more typical "gifts" offered to visitors in gift shops.
The famous tourist attraction, the Saturday market that was by the port, an almost kilometer long display of fruit and vegetables and sundry items - has now sadly moved to an obscure suburb.
Cultural Offerings
The enormous Archaeological Museum (converted from an old power station well before the idea of using the old Battersea power station in London as an art gallery) on one corner of the central Eleftherias Square, collects together many of the finds from Knossos, Archanes, Phaestos, Zakros and many other archeological sites in Crete. The museum spans a period starting several thousand years ago, through the Minoan, post-Minoan and later periods.
Popular highlights include the Phaestos disc, classic Hellenic and Roman sculptures, frescoes, jewelry, wall-paintings and pottery. A selection of guide books is available at the museum shop - best to buy one to gain some insight into the items that make up this substantial collection.
It's a good idea to start early in the morning or late in the day during the summer months to avoid a rush-hour style of viewing - this is a very popular destination.
Open: every day 08.00 to 19.30 summer, 08.30 to 17.00 winter. Monday opening is from 12.00. December to February closing time is 15.00.
Closed on public Holidays. Tel: 2810-279086, 279087.
Admission: 6.00 euros. Combined museum and Knossos ticket: 10.00 euros.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All museum surrounds and the original museum building are being completely rebuilt. The date of completion is undetermined. A temporary, partial exhibition (of 400 exhibits) is open at a new annex behind the museum. The full exhibition will be displayed again when works have been completed.

History Museum on Sophocleus Venizelou. Easy way to find it is to walk to the bottom of 25th August and at the end, turn left along the seafront - it's about half a kilometer along on your left (some nice cafes and tavernas have opened in the square beside it).
Open: 09.00 to 15.00 every day, except Saturday 09.00-14.00, Sunday closed. Tel: 2810-283219.

The Battle of Crete Museum. Walk down the side of the Archaeological museum on Hatzidaki and at the end, where it meets Bofor is this small but informative gem.
Open: 09.00 to 15.00 every day except Saturday & Sunday. Free entrance. Tel: 2810-346554.

The Venetian Loggia on 25th August Street ("Avgoostoo Eekosi Penday"), 50 meters down the street from "Lion Square" (Morosini or Venizelos Square on maps) on the right, is now the city hall of Heraklion. You can walk in a take a quick look.
If you take the left turn instead (off 25th August) you enter Theotokopoulou or El Greco square where the OTE ("Otay") buildings house public telephone and fax facilities. Also if you are in need of a supermarket you will find Halkiadakis on the next side of this square.
The Municipal Gallery and Basilica of St. Mark has an ever-changing variety of exhibitions from early photographs of Crete, to specific works of art - have a look to see if there is a current exhibition. Opposite "Lion Square".
The Koules Venetian Fortress on the harbor walls, built in the early 1500's. Both for the impressive stone mass of its fortification and unfathomably solid walls, the pleasure of views from its turret and roof, restored interior and exterior reliefs of the Lion of St. Mark.
Open: 09.00 to 15.00. From 1 July to 31 October, open: 08.00 to 19.30. (We find that in reality their opening times seem rather unpredictable!) Tel: 2810-246211.
Admission: 1.50 euros.
The Natural History Museum of Crete. 10 minutes walk along the sea front from the bottom of 25th of August street - turn left as you face the sea (same direction as for the History Museum). The museum is in the well-converted old electricity power plant for Heraklion.
It has wonderful displays and good descriptive details about the flora and fauna, the wildlife, of Crete. An exciting feature is the "experience an earthquake" platform in the basement of the museum. It's a thrill for kids and educational for adults. There is also a not-to-be-missed area with caves and all sorts of play/learning materials. You might happily spend 1-2 hours here.
Admission: 5.00 euros adults, 3.00 euros children-student. Tel: 2810-282740. www.nhmc.uoc.gr
Another great place to visit: the new Aquarium ("CretAquarium" or "Thalassocosmos"). A 5000 square meter structure, it is both a research centre (housing the Institute of Marine Biology & Genetics and the Institute of Oceanography) and a fun, impressive aquarium with 32 tanks (representing interesting underwater Cretan sea landscapes) and 50 viewing points. 2500 organisms of 200 Mediterranean marine species, from hunter sharks to lobsters, to colorful jellyfish. Touch screens provide information in 5 languages.
15 km east of Heraklion, within what was the American base of Gournes (there are buses to it from the centre of town). Open 365 days/year (including public holidays), Monday to Sunday: 09:00-21:00 (1 May to 15 October) and 10:00-17:30 (16 October to 30 April). Admission: 8.00 euros adults, 6.00 euros 5-17 years old & students. Personal audio guide: 1.00 euro. Parking, cafe/restaurant with sea view, souvenir shop. Tel: 2810-337788, 2810-337888.www.cretaquarium.gr
The Palace of Knossos. 20-25 minutes from the centre of Heraklion. For many this is a must see, and for some a major reason to visit Crete. While you are in or near Heraklion it makes sense to visit this well-restored and sprawling work of Arthur Evans who spent much of his life, and his inherited fortune to make Knossos what it is today. A Minoan palace - this is the closest you can get to piecing together the threads of the story of the Minoan civilization through the structures the Minoans lived in.
Many publications about Knossos are available both in bookshops in Heraklion and at the gift shop there. Knossos also has guides who will, for a fee, enlighten your visit with details and history and provide a more rewarding visit. There is a cafe just after entering the gate, and several cafes and tavernas to eat in on the Knossos road just outside the gates.
You could spend anywhere from 1 - 3 hours and more here, depending on your interest in archaeology.
To get there by bus go to Bus station A near the harbor. At the bus station look for the KNOSSOS ticket office.
By car or taxi it is a 15-20 minute ride.
Open: every day 08.00 to 19.30 (to 15.00 in the winter). Tel: 2810-231940.
Admission: 6.00 euros. Combined Knossos and Heraklion Archaeological museum ticket: 10.00 euros.
Sundays (November to end of March) free for all!
The recently reconstructed underground Gate through the city walls, accessible from the central section of Eleftherias square.
One of the best known and most important for direction finding, streets in Heraklion is 25th of August street, which has now been repaved as a pedestrian street. There is very limited car access (it is quite probable that we will see more cafes spilling onto the street now cars are forced to take second place).
On the walk down 25th August Street from Dedalou to the sea (before most of the shops are turned over to car rental offices) is the church of Agios Titos, a beautiful
building, Byzantine in origin then rebuilt in the 16th century by the Venetians. The building was taken over by the Turks who converted it into a mosque and rebuilt it after the 1856 earthquake. It was renovated and re-consecrated by the Greek Orthodox Church in 1925. Fronted by a spacious square which accommodates a municipally run outdoor restaurant in the summer months and the interesting Pagopoieion restaurant/cafe/bar by the side of the church.

The church of Agia Ekaterini Sinaites - now a theological museum, is on the edge of the square surrounding the much larger and better known Agios Minas. It has some very fine Byzantine icons
Monday-Friday: 10.00-13.00, admission: 1.50 euros.
See a movie at the Vincenzo Kornaros cinema with its wonderfully carved-wood-paneled interiors (theatre 1) on Malikouti Street. Tel: 2810-243921.
Or, 5 minutes away by taxi, the latest movie palace has several screens, adding to your viewing choices.
Practical information
Banks open: 7.30 or 8.00 until 13.30 Monday to Friday Currency Converter & Euro guide
Money can also be changed at the central post office (8.00 to 8.00 except Saturday, until 15.00 - closed Sunday), hotels and some places at Lion square or on 25th August. Numerous ATM machines take Visa (the most frequently available), MasterCard and other cash or credit cards. "Cash is king" in Greece - prices for many items can be lower if you pay cash and credit cards do not always receive an automatic welcome.
Shops Open: 8.00 or 9.00 to 14.00 Monday to Saturday and 17.00 or 17.30 to 20.00/20.30 Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.
Most shops are closed on Sunday - tourist shops (many on Daedalou street) are an exception from May until early October. In villages shops are open longer hours and often all day without a break, some also on Sundays.
Cafes and restaurants of course open much longer hours and most open on Sundays. On Sunday you can find many items available at street kiosks - the large ones are almost small convenience/drugstores (ask for what you need, they often have it hidden amongst the myriad items they sell).
There are always at least a few Pharmacies/Chemists open in Heraklion - each pharmacy has a notice in the window showing which are open out of normal hours (& where) - this works on a rota system (you may want to ask someone to help you interpret this!).
