“great day out. heraklion is a beautiful vibrant town. lots of shops. bit disappointed with the market however. this was more of a locals market, where you could buy fresh fruits and vegetables. lots of brick a brack and piles of clothes. looked more like a flea market. was expecting to be able to get souvenirs there. but afraid not. the guide herself was great. she spoke 3 different languages and made sure everyone was well informed. great to get you away from the pool and see something different for a few hours”
