Epimenidou Street in central Heraklion has reopened to traffic following the completion of renovation works on the historic Kothri-Liopyraki Mansion. The street had been closed temporarily to allow crews to carry out the necessary work on the building, which is located in the heart of the city. The mansion is considered one of Heraklion's notable historic structures. Visitors and drivers navigating the city center can now use Epimenidou Street as normal. If you are exploring Heraklion on foot or by vehicle, this reopening removes a previous detour through the central area. The Kothri-Liopyraki Mansion is worth noting as part of Heraklion's architectural heritage if you are walking the old town.
