Back to newsThe Patriarch of Alexandria paid an official visit to the Holy Archdiocese of Crete and the Cathedral of Saint Minas in Heraklion. The Cathedral of Saint Minas, located in the heart of Heraklion's old town near the central market, is one of the most significant Orthodox churches in Crete and a landmark worth visiting. The cathedral is free to enter and open to respectful visitors during non-service hours. Dress modestly when visiting: covered shoulders and knees are required. High-profile religious visits like this occasionally draw gatherings around the cathedral and surrounding streets, so visitors in the area may notice increased foot traffic or ceremonial activity. The cathedral is an easy walk from Heraklion's main square, Lions Square (Plateia Venizelou), and pairs well with a visit to the nearby Heraklion Archaeological Museum.
