Back to newsHeraklion has launched a new series of refreshment kiosks along the city's historic Venetian Walls, offering visitors a place to rest, drink, and take in views of the surrounding greenery and ancient fortifications. The Venetian Walls, built between the 14th and 17th centuries, encircle the old city and are one of the best-preserved examples of Venetian military architecture in the Mediterranean. The kiosks are now open and accessible to the public during standard visiting hours. For tourists exploring Heraklion on foot, this is a practical addition to one of the city's most scenic walking routes. The walls stretch several kilometers and include notable bastions such as the Martinengo Bastion, where the poet Nikos Kazantzakis is buried. No entry fee is required to walk the walls.
