Heraklion Solidifies Position as Crete's Exhibition Capital

Tuesday, 30 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Heraklion continues to strengthen its position as Crete's main venue for trade fairs and public exhibitions, with another event confirmed at the International Exhibition Center of Crete (DIEK). The center, located in Heraklion, hosts a rotating calendar of exhibitions covering topics such as agriculture, tourism, construction, and consumer goods throughout the year.
