Venue

Heraklion, the vibrant capital of Crete, is a city where ancient history and modern life blend in perfect harmony. The present city was founded in 824 AD by the Saracens, who surrounded it with a massive defensive moat. Among the city’s highlights are Eleftherias Square, the bustling central hub; the world-renowned Archaeological Museum with treasures from Knossos; and Rocca al Mare (Koules Fortress) guarding the old Venetian port. Visitors can stroll along Daidalou Street, a busy pedestrian shopping area, or visit the Basilica of St. Mark, home to the Municipal Art Gallery. Heraklion is a place where ancient legends, Venetian elegance, and Cretan energy come together- a true gateway to the island’s soul.
